Dom João II
Dom João II, known as the Perfect Prince, was King of Portugal from 1481 until his death in 1495. Son of King Afonso V and Queen Isabel of Coimbra, he was a determined, intelligent, and politically astute monarch who played a crucial role in strengthening royal power and setting the stage for the Portuguese Age of Discoveries.
Upon ascending the throne, Dom João II was quick to curb the influence of the nobility, many of whom he saw as a threat to the stability of the crown. His methods were direct and, at times, ruthless — he personally oversaw trials and ordered executions of powerful nobles, reinforcing royal authority like few others had done before him.
Despite his firm hand in politics, he was also a visionary. He encouraged maritime exploration, reaffirming Portugal’s ambitions overseas. It was during his reign that Bartolomeu Dias rounded the Cape of Good Hope, opening the sea route to India. He also laid the groundwork for what would become the Treaty of Tordesillas.
Dom João II lost his only legitimate son, Prince Afonso, in a tragic horse-riding accident — a blow from which he never fully recovered. He died without direct heirs and was buried in the Batalha Monastery, a symbol of Portugal’s royal legacy.
