But King João I [April 11, 1357-August 14, 1433] of Portugal was married only once! On February 2, 1387 he married Philippa of Lancaster [1359-July 19, 1415], daughter of John of Gaunt.

The couple had six children [five males, one female], whom one of Portugal's greatest poets, Luís Vaz de Camões [c. 1524-June 10, 1580] famously described as Ínclita Geração [the Illustrious Generation]. One of João I's sons was Prince Henry the Navigator [Infante Henrique o Navegador, March 4, 1394-November 13, 1460].

João I had three children out-of-marriage with Inês Pires Estevez: Afonso, First Duke of Braganza [August 10, 1377-December 15, 1461]; Branca [1378-1379]; and Beatriz, Countess of Arundel [c. 1382-October 25, 1439].
