The Galician Campaign of 1384 was a Portuguese naval campaign commanded by a Castillian noble, Don Pedro de Trastámara, who sided with John I of Portugal. The Portuguese, whose main ship was the Royal galley itself, made a series of attacks on Galicia, conquering the towns of Baiona, A Coruña and Neda and burning the coastal town of Ferrol to the ground.[4] Additionally, the Portuguese destroyed 2 large Castilian ships and captured a galley. All three ships were carrying supplies to the Castilian army besieging Lisbon.
When the Portuguese returned to Porto celebrations were held to honour their victory.
