He was not a ruler but the third son of John I of Portugal - Henry the Navigator. He supported a lot of vayages along the western coast of Africa. Later, his explorers reached the Cape of Good Hope, and found a sea way to India. Henry the Navigator wanted to reach India (not really him, because he didn't himself take part in the voyages) and that's why he founded a navigation school where he collected the best map-makers, the best sailors, the best astronomers to teach his captains. He also founded the first observatory in Portugal.
