Lisbon Under Siege: The Brutal Siege That Decided the Fate of a Kingdom In 1384, Lisbon was besieged by land and sea for months, while its inhabitants fought against extreme famine to avoid succumbing to Castile. This documentary reveals how the resistance of a starving city forever changed the destiny of Portugal—and how a plague epidemic in the enemy camp became the deciding factor in the entire war. After the death of King Fernando without a male heir, Portugal plunged into a succession crisis that placed Lisbon at the center of a dispute between Castile and the Master of Avis. Surrounded by a powerful army, the city faces months of devastating famine while urban militias and courageous sailors fight to keep hope alive. Outside the walls, a plague epidemic decimates the besieging army, shifting the balance of power and paving the way for the rise of King John I and the decisive victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385. A true story of famine, resistance, and the birth of a nation. 00:00 – Introduction: The Besieged City 01:30 – The Kingdom in Collapse: The Crisis of 1383–1385 04:00 – The Great Siege of Lisbon (1384) 08:30 – Famine Devastates the Population 12:00 – Resistance Within the Walls 15:30 – The Plague in the Castilian Camp 18:30 – The Victory of the Resistance and the Future of Portugal [Keywords: Siege of Lisbon 1384, history of Portugal, medieval famine, King John of Avis, Battle of Aljubarrota, crisis of 1383-1385, historical documentary, Portuguese medieval history, Black Death, independence of Portugal, Castile vs. Portugal, true history] #HistoryOfPortugal #SiegeOfLisbon #MiddleAges #Aljubarrota #HistoricalDocumentary #KingJohnOfAvis #MedievalHistory #Famine1384 If this episode of Portuguese history moved you, leave a like, comment on which country you are watching from, and subscribe to the channel for more historical documentaries like this one.
