Afonso V of Portugal vs Prithviraj Chauhan

Afonso V's forces captured the strategic port city of Tangier from the Marinid Sultanate. The conquest solidified Portuguese dominance in the region and opened further trade routes, though it required ongoing military commitment to hold the territory.

Afonso V personally led a large Portuguese fleet and army that captured the Moroccan city of Arzila (Asilah) from the Wattasid Sultanate. The victory was followed by the surrender of Tangier, which had been lost earlier, and marked the peak of Portuguese territorial expansion in Morocco.

Afonso V intervened in the Castilian succession dispute, marrying Joanna la Beltraneja and claiming the throne of Castile. He invaded Castile but was defeated at the Battle of Toro in 1476, forcing him to abandon his claim and return to Portugal.

Prithviraj Chauhan succeeded his father Someshvara as ruler of the Chauhan kingdom of Ajmer and Delhi. He was a young king who soon faced threats from the Ghurid Empire under Muhammad of Ghor.

Prithviraj Chauhan defeated Muhammad of Ghor at the First Battle of Tarain near Thanesar. The Ghurid army was routed, and Muhammad was captured but later released. This victory temporarily halted Ghurid expansion into northern India.

Muhammad of Ghor returned with a larger army and defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the Second Battle of Tarain. Prithviraj was captured and executed, and the Chauhan kingdom was annexed by the Ghurids, leading to the establishment of Muslim rule in Delhi.

After the Second Battle of Tarain, Prithviraj Chauhan was taken prisoner by Muhammad of Ghor. He was executed shortly after, ending the Chauhan dynasty's rule. His death marked the beginning of the Delhi Sultanate.
