King João I of Portugal (1357 - 1433), the illegitimate son of Pedro I of Portugal and a Galician noblewoman Teresa Lourenço. He was the grandmaster of the Order of Aviz until he became king in 1385 upon the death of his legitimate brother, Fernando I by the cortes at Coïmbra in April. Froissart returns time and again to the notion of the contested or controversial succession of an illegitimate or bastard son. João I reigned until 1433.
John of Gaunt (1340-99): duke of Lancaster, son of Philippa of Hainault and Edward III, king of England, who was a pretender to the Castilian throne by right of his marriage to Constanza, eldest daughter of Pedro I, king of Castile, who died in 1369. John of Gaunt was an important person in English political and military life during the last quarter of the fourteenth century, exercising great influence in domestic and foreign policy in England during the reign of Richard II, despite periods of unpopularity and strife with his royal nephew.

Richard Poynings (c. 1355 - 1387), third Lord Poynings, younger son of Michael Poynings, first Lord Poynings, and Joan Ruxley. He succeeded his brother, Thomas, as Lord Poynings after Thomas died in 1375. Poynings was knighted by Richard II at his coronation, and he accompanied John of Gaunt to Spain where he died at Villalpando in 1387.
Sir John de Southeray (1364/5 - c. 1383) was and illegitimate son of Edward III and Alice Ferrers. Froissart calls him alternatively ‘Soudree’ or ‘Soustree’, and says he was the bastard brother of the king of England, Richard II. Chris Given-Wilson notes that there can be little doubt that Froissart was confused in this matter, and that he is actually referring to his ‘bastard uncle’ John de Southeray. If this is accurate, Froissart is also mistaken in listing him as a participant in Gaunt’s campaign of 1386, as Given-Wilson and Curteis indicate that Southeray died sometime in 1383, making it impossible for him to have taken part in the later expedition to the Iberian Peninsula. He did, however, take part in the Portuguese expedition of 1381-2, in fact he was the leader of the mutiny against Edmund of Langley’s leadership of the campaign.

Nuño Alvares Pereira (1360 - 1431), count of Ourém, constable of Portugal. He played a crucial role in the crisis of 1383-85, and he was one of the first Portuguese nobles to support João I's claim to the throne. After the death of his wife in 1423, he became a Carmelite monk and took the name Friar Nuno of St. Mary. He was beatified on 23 January 1918 by pope Benedict XV.

gal devers roy. Et comment le dit roy et le dit duc parlerent et se
alierent par mariaiges. De la venue des chevaliers d’Angleterre fu le roy de
Portingalfut
grandement res jouy, et commanda qu’ilz feussent bien logiéz a leur ayse. Quant ilz se
furent appareilléz, Martin de Coingne et Ferrant Martin de Merlo qui congnoissoient l’usaige du roy alerent veoir le roy,
lesquelz il receut doulcement et liement. La s’acquittierent ilz de parolles ainsi que bien
le sceurent faire, et puis presenterent les faulcons et les levriers, desquelz presens le roy ot grant joye, car il ayme chiens et oyseaulx, et remercierent grandement le roy de par le duc de Lancastre et la duchesce, aus si que ordonné leur
estoit, et dit qu’ilz
devoient dire et faire des beaulx muléz que le roy leur avoit envoyéz. Le royrendi ad
ce et dist que c’estoit petite chose, et qu’une autre foiz il envoieroit plus grans dons,
mais c’estoit accointance d’amis ainsi que seigneurs qui se doy ent et desirent a veoir faire l’un a l’autre pour nourrir plus grant amour ensemble. Adonc on apporta
vin et espices et beurent les che valliers d’Angleterre, et puis prindrent congié
au roy pour celle heure et retourne rent a leurs hostelz et soupperent la celle nuit,
ne depuis jusques a l’endemain ilz disne rent au palais et furent les deux assis, le sire de Pouvins et messire
Jehan Buncelle, a sa table, et messire Jehan d’Aubrecicourt et messire
Jehan Sentree a une autre table avecques les barons du paÿs qui la
estoient. Et la estoit Laurencien Sou gasse, escuier d’onneur du roy, qui bien congnois soit
les compaignons et les chevaliers et escuiers anglois. Car il les avoit veüz en Angle terre, si leur faisoit toute la meilleur chiere que il pouoit, et bien le sçavoit
faire. Le disner que le roy de Portingal donna ce jour aux chevaliers
d’Angleterre fut bel et bon, et furent
bien serviz. Quant ce vint aprés
disner et on fut trait en la chambre de parlement, les chevaliers d’Angleterre commencierent a parler au roy et a deux contes de Portingal qui la estoient, le conte d’An gouse et le conte de Novaire, et
distrent: "Sire roy, avecques toute recommandacion que monseigneur le
duc de Lancastre vous a envoyé, il nous encharga au partir que nous vous
deyssions qu’il vous ver roit voulentiers." Dont respondi le roy: "Et je
luy, et prie a vous et a voz gens que hastivement nous vous puis sions veoir pour estre
et parler ensemble." "Ce seroit bon," respondirent les contes de Portingal, "car jusques a tant que vous soyéz ensemble, vous ne vous entreaymerés
parfaittement. Et lors arés vous advis et parlement ensemble comment vous vous pourréz
maintenir en ceste guerre encontre le roy de Castille." "Il est verité", respondirent les chevaliers d’Angleterre. "Or le faittes donc brief",
dist le roy, "car se le duc a desir de moy veoir, aussi ay je luy." Puis retrerent en autres parolles. Car de pre mier le conseil du roy de Portingal en fut
chargié que certaine journee feust assignee entre eulx deux que ilz se
verroyent et que les chevaliers d’Angleterre qui la estoient en feussent certiffiéz.
Il fut fait, on fut d’accord que le roy de Portingal venroit au cor de son
paÿs en une cité qui est nommee au Port, et le duc de Lancastre
chevaucheroit toute la fron tiere de Gallice, et la sus le departement de Gallice et de Portingal ilz se trouveroient et parleroient en semble. Sus tel estat se departirent les chevaliers an gloys du roy,
quant ilz orent esté a Connimnbres trois jours, et se mistrent
au retour devers Gallice et chevauchierent toute la frontiere ainsi comme
ilz estoient venuz, et retournerent a Saint Jaques. Sy compterent au duc et a la duchesce comme ilz avoyent exploittié. De ces nouvelles fut
le roy tout resjouy et bien y avoit cause, car ses besoin gnes se commençoient
a approuchier. SHF 3-111sync Quant ce vint le terme que le duc devoit
