| | In 1445-46, again, Dom Henry renewed his earlier attempts (which had failed in 1424-25) to purchase or seize the Canaries for Portugal; by these he brought his country to the verge of war with Castile; but the home government refused to support him, and the project was again abandoned. | | | Henry of Portugal, surnamed the "Navigator", Duke of Viseu, governor of the Algarve, was born at Oporto on the 4th of March 1394. | | | Meantime, in 1418, Henry had gone in person to relieve Ceuta from an attack of Morocco and Granada Muslims; had accomplished his task, and had planned, though he did not carry out, a seizure of Gibraltar. |
