Also known as the Battle of Navarrete, it was fought on April 3, 1367, near Nájera, in the province of La Rioja, in Castile. It was an episode of the First Castilian Civil War in which King Pedro I of Castile faced his half brother Count Enrique de Trastámara, who aspired to the throne. At the Battle of Nájera a good covering force was lacking to keep the Enrique’s army informed of enemy movements as it unfolded waiting for the Pedro’s army to approach its position along the main road between Navarrete and Nájera. But it instead marched behind some hills and emerged directly over the opponent s left flank. In the simulation of the battle of Nájera the center of gravity of both maneuvers (defensive and offensive) will be the Nájera Bridge over the Najerilla River. The French and Castilians will have the opportunity to force the English into a disadvantageous attack, as the Scots succeeded and won at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
