Sebastian I
Portuguese Succession
On 1578, Sebastian I of Portugal would die due to a botched crusade which would be against the moors in the south and Henry, the bishop King would succeed as King Henry of Portugal who was known as the bishop King who wanted to nullify his vows so that he can sire a heir, however this would not be allowed due to the clout of Philip II in the papacy.
Philip II would succeed as King of Portugal in 1580 but not without the challenge of Antonio, Prior of Krato.
The crowning of Philip II of Spain as the King of Portugal went with less difficulty and he even paid claimants of Portugal Ranuccio Farnese with Catherine Michelle of Spain b. 1569, only daughter of Elizabeth of France (the eldest daughter of Catherine of Medici and Henry II of France) and Philip II and Philip II’s granddaughter Catherine of England to Charles Emmanuel of Savoy on 1580, the son of Margaret of France and Emmanuel Philibert so that they would not claim the Portuguese throne.
The Cortes of Portugal would make Philip sign that the domains of Portugal remain separate from Castile, afterwards Philip would send his son, Charles, Prince of Asturias to Portugal as regent.
The consequence of this would be the more tolerant Austrian Empire getting parts of the Portuguese colonial empire.
