In the OTL, Sebastian I was crushed by a much larger force from Saadi Morocco and the Ottoman Empire under the command of Abd Al-Malik. With Sebastian's death, Portugal entered a succession crisis with the ultimate winner being Spain who, under Phillip II, incorporated it into the Spanish Habsburg and created the Iberian Union.

But, what if Sebastian I won the battle? What would the result be of a Portuguese victory over the Islamic forces? Could he even had won at the battle site or should he have taken the advice of his commanders and held his position?

Many questions, fulfill my curiosity.
