Introduction
I am currently working on my Phd project which concerns the military organization of the Alentejo region in the 14th c. and it's funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology - FCT (SFRH/BD/136145/2018), under the supervision of Prof. João Gouveia Monteiro. One of the main objectives is to conduct research in Alentejo's local and regional archives, although the backbone of the project is to understand how war was managed in this region by the Crown and by the local authorities.

By the late 13th century, the south of Portugal was still marked by the legacy of the Muslim presence, which has lasted more than 500 years. During that time it was a war zone, and the Portuguese kings tried to defend the territory with the help of the Military Orders (Avis, Santiago, Temple and the Hospitallers) which received large extensions of...

However, although the circumstances in which the battle took place and its unfolding do not seem t...
