Jehuda Cresques, better known as "Cresques the Jew", was imported from Catalonia to serve as an assistant to this man. Other associates of this man included Gil Eanes, Gonçalo Velho, and the Genoese Antonio de Noli.

From his base at (*) Terçanabal on the Sagres peninsula, located near Lagos, this man organized the capture of Cueta but perhaps more notably the passing of Cape Bojador, a feat long thought impossible. This man also oversaw the claiming of the Madiera Islands and the Azores. For ten points, name this Portuguese prince who promoted exploration.
