Nuno Álvares Pereira Life story


Dom Nuno Álvares Pereira, OCarm was a very successful Portuguese general who had a decisive role in the 1383-1385 Crisis that assured Portugal's independence from Castile. He later became a mystic and was beatified by Pope Benedict XV in 1918, and canonised by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009.
