    • Olá! And good question. In the sentence from the Shorty, the relevant part is “terá ganho várias batalhas até à sua morte”. The structure ter + past participle is being used with a future tense form (terá) to express something like “apparently” or “presumably” in the past. In historical or report-style narration, this “future of probability” often gets translated in English with expressions like “is said to have…”, “is believed to have…”, or “reportedly…”, rather than a very literal future tense. So in this context, the meaning is not “The Lusitanian general will have won…”, but rather “The Lusitanian general is said to have won… / supposedly won…”, reflecting that it is based on reports, tradition or uncertain historical sources.
