The result of the battle was a defeat of the Moorish armies, which limited the warlike capacity of the Taifa of Seville in the Beiras region, increasing its loss of influence and power in the region, leading to the Beiras Campaign and the definitive conquest of Coimbra by Ferdinand I of León in 1064.
