"Henry the Navigator, King of Portugal"

I can't even... I give up.

The king of Portugal was João I (John I). Henrique o Navegador was a the third prince, and he was not even the heir. He founded the Escola de Sagres to study all details of ocean navigation. He was one of the sons of the king and of his wife: Filipa de Lancaster, John of Gaunt (duke of Lancaster)'daughter, and great daughter of King Edward III of England

Henry the navigator the King of Portugal? no no no...
Prince Henry the navigator. Not even the heir to the throne... not even second heir... he was the third prince.

Henry the Navigator was not King but a Prince of Portugal for God's sake.

Abulhasan Al Masudi
This amazing historian and geographer was born in Baghdad (in 895 CE) and travelled to East Africa, the Middle East, Persia, Russia, China and the Indian Subcontinent. He died in Cairo in 957 CE. His famous work of world history “Meadows of Gold” has been translated into English.
He produced many more books and even encyclopaedias about world history and combined cultural and social matters with politics. Al Masudi would on his travels speak to locals and use their accounts. His interest of the world would include non-Muslim lands like Scandinavia and their peoples

Interesting video

Real good video!🇵🇹👍

Henry, the Navigator has never been king.

What started the age of exploration? The technology of building sea going ships with large cargo holds and the innovation of firearms that could subdue native tribal warriors with ease.

1st the Portuguese bring the commerce in Africa, the Portuguese where traders, and we brought slaves, sadly, after that Portugal started the slavery, but it wasn’t only Portugal, all the countries in Europe have done that, even before the Portuguese empire the enemy’s capture where slaves, in Europe and out of Europe, in Africa, Americans Ásia. So Portugal didn’t stared slavery.

Interesting.

OK, so I would argue the beginning of the age of discovery started with wind powered sawmills lowering the cost of building ships. I'm not any kind of expert but in the early phase the dutch had that edge.

There was a lot more sea travel than the history books tell because these countries kept things quite NewZealand has over 265 unidentified accent ships wrecks around its coast line .one very large ship has 6000 year old Chinese wood in its skeleton .Spanish coins found and 2 helmets

The first chemically refined sugar appeared on the scene in India about 2,500 years ago. From there, the technique spread east towards China, and west towards Persia and the early Islamic worlds, eventually reaching the Mediterranean in the 13th century.

1. Castille was a rich kingdom as well as Aragon Genoa Republic or Venice's . England was a poor kingdom at that time as northern Europe.

2. Sugar cane was brought to Iberian Península by the moors when they conquered it and later taken by portuguese and spaniards to the Canary Islands.

3. Kwolege of navigation was in Salamanca University and the Kingdom of Aragon united to Castille by a royal marriage, not only italians had it

4. Interviewing german ir english historians instead of portuguese or spanish. Why?.

In Indonesia we call it gold, glory, gospel
