From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Battle of Azamor took place in Morocco, on August 28 and 29 of 1513 between the Portuguese and the Moors under the Wattasid dynasty rule.

Prior to his voyage of circumnavigation, Ferdinand Magellan fought in this battle, where he received a severe knee wound. After taking leave without permission, he fell out of favor at the Portuguese royal court.
