John I of Portugal / 若昂一世

Overview

John I of Portugal / 若昂一世 appears in the Ceuta source as the Aviz monarch under whom Portugal captured Ceuta in 1415.

Current Profile

The episode presents John I’s court as newly ambitious after Portugal’s mainland Reconquista and the establishment of the Aviz dynasty. The 1415 campaign required large-scale preparation, taxation, requisition, and secrecy; its result became a founding episode in later Portuguese overseas-expansion memory.
