Encyclopedia: Treaty of Alcaçovas

The Treaty of Alcaçovas (also known as Treaty or Peace of Alcaçovas-Toledo) was signed on September 4, 1479 between the Catholic Monarchs of Castile (Castilla, Spain) and Aragon on one side and the King of Portugal on the other side. It put an end to the War of the Castilian Succession, a civil war begun in 1474 over the succession of the kingdom of Castile. By this agreement, ownership of the Canary Islands was transferred from Portugal to Castile in exchange for claims in West Africa.
