there was war with Portugal. In the battle
of Aljubarrota, when the Master of Cala-
trava was killed, he was promoted to his
place. Here is material of romance, a life-

Aljubarrota
The "marvellous battle that was at
Juberoth,” should be told by none but
Froissart v The war had been kept up for
the benefit of French mercenaries, and the
Spanish chivalry was ill content:
"They would say that King could make
no war but by the Frenchmen, and in
like wise no more could his father”—in
which they said truth, for King Peter had
pacified Castile, more than once, and the
allies of King Henry had ravaged it again.
