The Duchy of Bragança was created in 1442 by king Afonso V of Portugal for his uncle Afonso, Count of Barcelos (natural son of John I of Portugal).
João II's successor, King Manuel I of Portugal was uncle of Jaime and, in 1500, he recalled his nephew to Portugal, returning to him the titles and (part of) the lands of Bragança.
When his six-year-old nephew became King Afonso V of Portugal, Afonso of Braganza was the king's most cherished councillor.

After John& death (1826) Pedro also became king of Portugal but abdicated in favor of his daughter, Maria II (reigned 1826–53), on condition that she accept a new charter limiting royal authority and marry Dom Miguel.
Under the regency of Maria’s son (later John VI; 1816–26) Portugal’s alliance with Britain led to difficulties with France; in 1807 the forces of Napoleon I marched on Portugal.
The royal family fled (1807) to Brazil, and Portugal was rent by the Peninsular War.

Afonso V of Portugal is known to have been considering the possibility at the very moment when Columbus was first fortuitously thrown up by shipwreck on his shores.
Finally, competition at all levels between Spain and Portugal had rarely been more intense than now, for the war in which Afonso V had sought to wrest the very crown of Castile from Isabella's grasp had ended only in 1479.
He may have had in mind the fact that by treaty with Portugal, the Canaries were the only zone in which Castile was permitted to expand.

 Açores
In 1466 Afonso V of Portugal granted to the Duchess Isabel of Burgundy, his aunt, some sort of feudal privilege in the Azores, in consequence of which the colonists for some time were mostly Flemings, and the Portuguese themselves in those days called the islands As Ilhas Flamengas (the Flemish Islands).
The Azores are not a colony, nor a foreign dependency of Portugal, but an autonomous region with its own Regional President who resides in Angra, which is regarded as the political capital; at the same time the inhabitants are on a legislative and fiscal equality with those of the Portuguese mainland.
The city of Angra attained some slight historical notoriety in 1662, when Afonso VI, deposed by his brother Don Pedro, was imprisoned there.
