D. João, The ‘constable’
João was an infante of Portugal from the Avis dynasty and the 3rd Constable of Portugal, son of King João I and D. Filipa de Lencastre, and one of the first of the Ínclita generation.
As Constable, he tried to dissuade his brother D. Duarte from the Tangier expedition in Morocco, foreseeing its poor outcome. Later, he was in favor of rescuing Fernando, the Holy Infant, who had been held hostage by the Moroccans.
João was cultured, sensible and left few written works. For João, the Muslims should be fought through the Gospels and not with the sword, a position he defended in 1432, being against the war in Morocco.
