"It was a confusing and polemic battle with an inconclusive military outcome, as both sides claimed victory: the Castilian right wing was defeated by the forces under Prince John who possessed the battlefield, but the troops of Afonso V were beaten by the Castilian left-centre led by the Duke of Alba and Cardinal Mendoza. However, it was a major political victory for the Catholic Monarchs by assuring to Isabella the throne of Castile: what still remained of the noblemen loyal to Juana de Trast\u00E1mara adhered to Isabella. With great political vision, Isabella took advantage of the moment and convoked courts at Madrigal-Segovia (April\u2013October 1476). There her daughter was proclaimed and sworn heiress of the Castile's crown, which was equivalent to legitimizing her own throne. Spanish academic Ant\u00F3nio M. Serrano:\u201CFrom all of this it is deductible that the battle [of Toro] was inconclusive, but Isabella and Ferdinand made it fly with wings of victory. (...) Actually, since this battle transformed in victory; since 1 March 1476, Isabella and Ferdinand started to rule in the Spain's throne. (...) The inconclusive wings of the battle became the secure and powerful wings of San Juan's eagle [the commemorative temple of the battle of Toro] \u201D. The war continued until the peace of Alc\u00E1\u00E7ovas (1479), and the official propaganda transformed the Battle of Toro in a victory which avenged Aljubarrota."@en . "18"^^ .
