Storyboard for a film projection on large screen in CIBA - the Battle of Aljubarrota Interpretation Centre - Aljubarrota, Portugal.
Along with visual development this storyboard was used to pitch the Fundação Batalha de Aljubarrota and furthermore as a tool to help writing the adaptation itself in sequences.

The script is an adaptation of Fernão Lopes chronicle depicting the 1383-1385 Portuguese crisis - known as Interregno. Fierce political fights for power over the kingdom followed the death of the King Fernando I, and a civil war ensued culminating with the Aljubarrota battle in 1385, which involved Portuguese troops and English longbowmen allies fighting against Castilian and French knights.

If you are interested in medieval history in general and Aljubarrota battle in particular, you should visit the museum of course, where you will be able to see the resulting show on wide screens. You can also find books or read articles online for a start.
