The Battle of the Three Kings, or Battle of Alcazar Quivir, occurred after Camoes published the Lusiads, & so is not mentioned therein. Its primary importance in world history (according to me) is that the death of the childless Portuguese king led to an uneasy union between the crowns of Spain & Portugal, which was an important factor in the loss of effective power by the Portuguese Empire.
