In the battle of Aljubarrota (August 1385), where the Portuguese secured their independence from Spain, 800 local crossbow men were sided by 300 highly trained English long bow archers.
Attached is how Portuguese artist Gregório Lopes (c. 1490-1550), recriated the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, a martyr from the III century condemned by emperor Diocleciano. . |
