The
House of Aviz (
pron. IPA: /
ɐ.'viʃ/) is a dynasty of
kings of Portugal. In
1385, the
Interregnum of the
1383-1385 crisis ended with the acclamation of the Master of the
Order of Aviz,
John, natural son of king
Pedro I and Dona Teresa Lourenço as king. The descendants of king John I were still nominal masters of Aviz, though they were often replaced by other priests. The house of Aviz ended with the death of king
Henry I in
1580. After a short
struggle for the throne of Portugal the Crown of Portugal was taken by the Spanish branch of the
Habsburgs, though only in a personal union that did not formally end Portuguese independence. The Crown would return to a Portuguese dynasty in
1640 with the
House of Braganza.
Kings of the House of Aviz
Cardinal Henry (or Anthony I) was succeeded by king
Philip II of Spain. His domain would last until 1640, with the acclamation of the
duke of Bragança as
John IV of Portugal.
