During a disputed succession in Portugal, Joγo of Aviz and his General Nuno Alvares Pereira seized key cities, provoking an invasion by Juan I of Castile, who claimed the throne through his wife Beatrice. North of Sousel at Atoleiros, the Castilians were defeated and withdrew. When Joγo later formally claimed the throne, Juan invaded again and was routed in 1385 at Aljubarrota.
