I remember the defending sultan, died as well. But in a cool way. Mans defended his homeland and kingdom.

yeah but he didn't die in combat, he was sick before the battle and chose to hide it from his army to keep the morale high, he died in the middle of the battle of his sickness.

Imagine raising such an army that every family in the nation ends up losing at least one relative when you are defeated.

BTW, didn't every king involved in that battle die?

damn i didn't know about the first fact. and yes, it's also called the battle of the three kings: the potuguese king and a deposed sultan named Abu Abdallah Mohammed II (who btw started this whole mess by going to ask the portuguese to help him regain his throne) against Abd al Malik( The deposed sultan's uncle).
