[edit] portuguese victory?

In Spain, I've studied this battle as a spanish victory. As you can see, portuguese forces didn't get anything, but a non-catastrophic defeat.--PayoMalayo 17:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SPANISH victory?

Portugueses did won this battle, as "Matias de Albuquerque" was ranked "conde de Alegrete"(Count of Alegrete). I learned that the Portuguese forces, with great loses, did victoried push back the spanish forces trow the guadiana river

The Portuguese did indeed win this battle, it was the first major victory against the Spanish in the War of Restoration. I live in the United States, and ever source I've read says that Portugal won. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monikwee (talk • contribs) 22:57, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
