What was it like?

The world around Lisbon, 1416: who ruled, who else was alive, how people lived. This is general history, not a record about the family, and every item shows where it comes from.

When João was born in 1416, Lisbon belonged to the Kingdom of Portugal, ruled by John I of Portugal.

Known for

João Manuel was a religious Carmelite, Bishop of Ceuta (1443-1459) and Bishop of Guarda (1459-1476). Although some genealogists claimed that he was the son of Edward, King of Portugal and Joana Manuel de Vilhena, great-granddaughter of Juan Manuel, Prince of Villena, Anselmo Braamcamp Freire dismisses such filiation and provides sufficient arguments against it.
