Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - John III of Portugal - Culture

John III's support for the humanist cause was significant. In literature, his support of Gil Vicente, Garcia de Resende, Sá de Miranda, Bernardim Ribeiro, Fernão Mendes Pinto, João de Barros and, of course, Luís de Camões stood out. In the sciences, John III supported Pedro Nunes and Garcia de Orta. The monarch attributed many scholarships in Universities abroad (mainly in Paris) and definitively transferred the University from Lisbon to Coimbra in 1537. He quickly called prominent figures of European education (many were Portugu ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - John III of Portugal - Inquisition

The Inquisition was introduced in Portugal by John III in 1536, after hesitations from Rome. In 1515, Manuel I had asked for the installation of the Inquisition, but it was instituted only after the accession of John III. As in Spain, the Inquisition was put under the authority of the King. The Grand Inquisitor, or General Inquisitor, was named by the Pope after the king's appointment and always from within the royal family. The Grand Inquisitor would later nominate other inquisitors. In Portugal, the first Grand Inquisitor was Cardinal Henr ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - John III of Portugal - Death and succession

From 1539, the heir to the throne was John, prince of Portugal, who married Juana Habsburg, daughter of Charles V. But Prince John was a sickly child (and the sole son of John III to survive childhood) and died young (of tuberculosis), when the princess was giving birth to Prince Sebastian in January 1554. When John III died of apoplexy in 1557, the heir was his only grandson, Sebastian, just three years old. John's body rests in the Monastery of Jerónimos in Lisbon. John III of Portugal - Issue< ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - John III of Portugal - Style

Like his predecessors John used the style "El-rei" (the king) followed by "Dom" (abbreviated to D.), a mark of high esteem for a distinguished Christian nobleman. The official style was the same used by his father Manuel I: "Dom João, by the grace of God, King of Portugal, of the Algarves, of either side of the sea in Africa, Lord of Guinea, & of the Conquest, Navigation, & Commerce of Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, & India" (Dom João, por graça de Deus, Rei de Portugal, e dos Algarves, d'aquém e d'além ma ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - John III of Portugal - International relations

In terms of international relations, the reign of John III was filled with diplomacy. With Spain, he made alliances through marriage (himself with Catherine Habsburg; Isabella, princess of Portugal with Charles V; Maria, princess of Portugal – his daughter – with Philip II of Spain, and others) that assured peace in the Iberian Peninsula for years. However, the intermarriage of members of the Portuguese Royal Family with other Iberian kingdoms was probably one of the factors of the fragility ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - Charles V Holy Roman Emperor - Wars against France and the Reformation

Charles V initiated many wars with France during his reign, first fighting against them in Northern Italy in 1521. Later in the Italian Wars, in 1527, his troops sacked Rome, causing Charles some embarrassment but enabling him to keep the Pope from annulling the marriage of Henry VIII of England and Catherine of Aragon, who was his aunt. As Holy Roman Emperor, he called Martin Luther to the Diet of Worms in 1521, promising him safe conduct if he would appear. He initially dismissed Luther's idea of reformation as, "An argument between ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - Charles V Holy Roman Emperor - The Council of Trent and other reforms

In 1545 the opening of the Council of Trent began the Counter-Reformation, and Charles won to the Catholic cause some of the princes of the Holy Roman Empire. He also attacked the Schmalkaldic League in 1546 and defeated John Frederick, Elector of Saxony and imprisoned Philip of Hesse in 1547. At the Augsburg Interim in 1548 he created a doctrinal compromise that he felt Catholics and Protestants alike might share. A more permanent settlement followed with the 1555 Peace of Augsburg.

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - John III of Portugal - Early Life

Prince John was King Manuel's first son. His birth on June 6, 1502, was celebrated with a masterpiece of Portuguese theater, Gil Vicente's Visitation Play, or: the Monologue of the Cowherd (Auto da Visitação ou Monólgo do Vaqueiro) presented at the Queen's chamber. The young prince was sworn heir to the throne in 1503 and was educated by notables of the time, including the astrologer Tomás de Torres and Diogo de Ortiz, Bishop of Viseu. One of his teachers was Luís Teixeira, a humanist educated in Italy. John's chron ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - John III of Portugal - Early Reign

On December 19, 1521, at the age of 19, he was crowned and acclaimed in the Church of Saint Dominique in Lisbon, beginning a thirty-six-year reign characterized by intense activity in internal and overseas politics and especially in relations with other major European states. The marriage of John's sister, Princess Isabella of Portugal, to Charles V made it possible for the Portuguese king to strengthen his alliance with Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. To fortify his ties with Austria, he married his maternal first cousin Catherine o ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - Maximilian I Holy Roman Emperor - Reign in the Holy Roman Empire

Elected King of the Romans in 1486 at the initiative of his father, he also stood at the head of the Holy Roman Empire upon his father's death in 1493. The following year brought French intervention in Italy, inaugurating the prolonged Italian Wars. He joined the Holy League to counter the French. The war only ended with a success of the Empire after his death. Maximilian is possibly best known for leading the 1495 Reichstag at Worms which concluded on the Reichsreform (Imperial Reform), reshaping much of the constitutio ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - Charles V Holy Roman Emperor - Early life

Charles was born in the Flemish city of Ghent and brought up in the Low Countries until 1517, where he was tutored by Adrian of Utrecht, later Pope Adrian VI. His three most prominent subsequent advisors were Lord Chièvres, Jean Sauvage, and Mercurino Gattinara. In 1506, Charles inherited his father's Burgundian territories, most notably the Low Countries and Franche-Comté. In 1516, after the death of his grandfather Ferdinand, Charles became the first king of a united Spain (though he never used the titles "King of Spain" - ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - Prince Edmund Blackadder - The Black Adder

Edmund resolved to become more assertive, giving himself the title The Black Vegetable. Baldrick instead suggested The Black Adder, which Edmund wisely adopted, although few people were aware of his nom de guerre and only Dougal McAngus ever called him by it (and that sarcastically). A less fortunate consequence of his experience in battle was that Edmund found himself haunted by the ghost of his great-uncle (in a manner clearly similar to Macbeth's haunting by Banquo's.) At one point the ghost chased him into a foggy me ...

Joanna of Castile: Encyclopedia II - Prince Edmund Blackadder - Service under a regent

In 1486, the second year of his reign and reportedly "the year in which the egg replaced the worm as the lowest form of currency", King Richard IV departed his Kingdom to join a new Crusade against the Ottoman Empire under Bayezid II. Prince Harry was appointed Regent for the duration of his absence. Edmund saw the event as his "chance for some real power". However the winter of 1486/1487 found Edmund flocking sheep. Harry at least bothered to personally inform him that their father would return by St. Leonard's Day and ...

Dougal McAngus soon arrived with recently won Turkish treasures and news from the crusaders. He also transported the regards of his father to the Queen consort. (McAngus was unaware that during his journey to England his father had died and that he was now Fourth Duke of Argyll.) Harry then attempted to introduce Dougal to Edmund. With Dougal mistaking the younger Prince for a eunuch, the two got off to a bad start. When Edmund introduced himself as the Duke of Edinburgh, McAngus complaine ...

Later, Edmund had the chance to examine the letters himself. They were dated 1460, year of birth for his brother. McAngus even suggested to Edmund that: "If you played your cards right, you could become King ", and sooner than he thought. He claimed Richard IV was last seen entering Constantinople alone, armed with a fruit knife and facing 10,000 Turks armed with scimitars. Soon enough, an excited Edmund revealed the letters and their contents to the members of the Royal court, claiming Harry to be illegitimate and the King dec ...

He later outlawed Luther and his followers in that same year but was tied up with other concerns and unable to try to stamp out Protestantism. 1524 to 1526 saw the Peasants' Revolt in Germany and the formation of the Lutheran Schmalkaldic League, and Charles delegated increasing responsibility fo ...

November, 1487 started a new chapter in the conflicts between The Crown and Church of England. The Duke of Winchester, greatest landowner in England, was dying, presumably without heir. (Historically the Peers of Winchester were known as the Earl of Winchester or Marquess of Winchester. The title was at the time held by Lewis de Bruges, 1st Earl of Winchester, who would not die until 1492). Both King Richard IV and Godfrey, Archbishop of Canterbury were attempting to convince the dying man to leave his lands to the authorities represe ...
