Infante
Miguel da Paz de Avis e de Trastamare (1498-1500,
pron. IPA: [
mi'ɣɛɫ dɐ paʃ]
English (lit.):
Michael of the Peace) was a
Portuguese Prince, son of
King Manuel I of Portugal and his first wife
Isabella of Aragon (1470-98). He was recognized as heir to both his father's kingdom of Portugal, and to his grandmother's
kingdom of Castile and Leon. As such, he was styled
Prince of Asturias.
He was born in Zaragoza, Spain on August 24 1498 and his mother died in the childbirth. For the next two years he was the heir to the throne of both Portugal and Spain.
One of Miguel's maternal aunts, Maria of Aragon, then married his father and gave birth to eight children.
He died young in Granada on July 19 1500 and is buried in the Convent of Saint Isabella, the Royal, in Toledo.
Hopes to unite all Iberian kingdoms vanished at Miguel's death. After his demise, Joan the Mad (Miguel's maternal aunt) became the heiress of Spain, eventually bringing those kingdoms to the Habsburgs. However, the union took place about a hundred years later, in 1580, when the Habsburg king, Philip II of Spain, Miguel's half-nephew, grandson of Joan the Mad and grandson of Manuel of Portugal, annexed Portugal and its dominions.
