About Sebastian Of Portugal
- Sebastian (Portuguese: Sebastião I Portuguese pronunciation: [s?b??'ti.?~w~]; 20 January 1554 – 4 August 1578) was King of Portugal from 11 June 1557 to 4 August 1578 and the penultimate Portuguese monarch of the House of Aviz. He was the son of João Manuel, Prince of Portugal, and his wife, Joanna of Austria.
- He was the grandson of King John III of Portugal and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.
- He disappeared (presumably killed in action) in the battle of Alcácer Quibir.
- Sebastian I is often referred to as The Desired (Portuguese: o Desejado) or The Asleep (Portuguese: o Adormecido), as the Portuguese people longed for his return to end the decline of Portugal that began after his death.
- He is considered to be the Portuguese example of the king in the mountain legend as Portuguese tradition states his return, in a foggy dawn, on Portugal's greatest hour of need.
