The count and Gonçalo Vasques reached Elvas and told the King of Portugal all that had taken place with the King of Castile. The king laughed and said that he thought all that had been pretence, to show that the King of Castile was conceding such things against his will, since they did not do him much honour. Straight away, that day, he ordered the peace to be proclaimed. When the English heard it proclaimed, they could not have been more angry, laid their bascinets on the ground and hacked at them with maces, saying that the king had betrayed and deceived them, causing them to come from their country to fight his enemies, and now he was making peace with them against their will.

When the Earl of Cambridge heard peace proclaimed, he said in a rage that, if the king had negotiated peace with the Castilians, he, the earl, had not, and that, if he had his troops assembled, as when he had first arrived in Lisbon, notwithstanding the king ordering peace to be proclaimed, he would join battle with the King of Castile. At this, so many arguments flared up again that some people spoke out improperly against the king, to which Pero Lourenço de Távora responded as was befitting.

The king told him that he should take no notice of their arguments nor should there be any brawling, telling them that he would make sure they were satisfied and send them back to their country as honourably as they came. He did so afterwards, but not for everybody, since a large number of them had died in this kingdom. Then it was arranged for the hostages to be delivered from one side to the other, as was set out in the treaty.

On the part of Portugal, six hostages were delivered to Castile: a daughter of the Count of Barcelos; a daughter of Count Dom Gonçalo, called Dona Inês, who was later married to João Fernandes Pacheco; another daughter of Count Enrique [Manuel], called Dona Branca, who was later married to Rui Vasques Coutinho, the son of Beatriz Gonçalves de Moura and Vasco Fernandes Coutinho; Martinho, the son of Gonçalo Vasques de Azevedo; Vasco, the son of João Gonçalves Teixeira; and, lastly, a son of Álvaro Gonçalves de Moura, called Lopo.
