Prince Henrique (1394-1460), also known as Navigator Henrique, was a key figure in the early Portuguese Empire and 15th century European maritime discoveries and expansion. He is considered to be the initiator of the great geographical discoveries in Europe. Enrique was the fourth child of King Jo ã o I and Filippa of Portugal. He encouraged his father to conquer the Muslim port of Ceuta on the North African coast in 1415. He learned about the opportunities provided by the Sahara trade route and was most interested in the expansion of trade between Pope John and Portugal in Christian legends.
