The King of Portugal. Because Portugal was cut off from Europe by larger neighbour Spain, it has always been in the perifery of the European continent, and at the time on the end point of the lucrative trade routes (including spices), so they tried to find a maritime way to the rich countries of Brazil, most of Africa, India, Ceylon, Burma, Malaya, Aceh, Indonesia, Timor, China, Formosa and Japan, bypassing every other European country and becoming fenomenaly rich, setting up an Empire and being culturally and politically independent from Europe until 1986 (save the oldest alliance in the world still in force with the UK). It's last colony, Macau, was handed to China in 1999.
