	Battle of Ceuta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Both the Battle of Ceuta and, in a larger sense, the era of European expansion were influenced by the Infant Dom Henrique of Portugal; he is better known to history as Prince Henry the Navigator.
		The Portuguese conquest of Ceuta served larger purposes than simply winning knightly spurs for the sons of João I; their victory over the forces of Allah rekindled dreams of a unified Christendom that could subdue Islam in a multi-pronged conflict.
