Sancho II
(born 1207, Coimbra, Port. — died Jan. 4, 1248, Toledo, Castile) Fourth king of Portugal (1223 – 45). His reign was marked by a series of vain attempts to bring political stability to his strife-ridden realm. He renewed the war against the Moors and gained control over most of the Algarve (1238 – 39). He was deposed (1245) in favour of his brother Afonso III.
