	Henry the Navigator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henry the Navigator was the third son of John I of Portugal, the founder of the Aviz dynasty; and of Philippa of Lancaster, the daughter of John of Gaunt.
		Henry's court rapidly grew into the technological base for exploration, with a naval arsenal, an observatory, and a school for the study of geography and navigation added over time.
		The school at Sagres achieved several advances in the art of navigation, and the discoveries Henry made possible provided the groundwork for the development of Portugal's colonial empire when his great-nephew, King John II of Portugal, continued his policy of exploration on assuming the throne in 1481.

	Reviews in History: Prince Henry 'the Navigator'. A Life
		Henry, as Russell shows, was well aware of the financial advantages of sugar production, and he had an uncanny understanding of the fact that Italian merchants were keen, in the early to mid-fifteenth century, to lessen their dependence on eastern Mediterranean sugar and to exploit sources of sugar in western areas such as Granada.
		Broadly, Henry’s schemes can be understood as four projects: one, to gain for himself the crown of Granada or at least a slice of Granadan territory, was completely at odds with Castilian interests, though maybe that was why it appealed to a prince who had an obsessive hatred of Castile.
		Throughout Henry’s career, Morocco continued to fascinate and attract Henry, who was present at the fall of Alcácer-Ceguer, a not very important fortress between Ceuta and Tangier) to the Portuguese in 1458, as he had been at the fall of Ceuta forty-three years earlier.
