Everything about Infante Fernando Duke Of Viseu totally explained

The Infante Fernando, Prince of Portugal, Duke of Viseu (1433–1470, English: Ferdinand, ) was the third son of Portuguese King Edward of Portugal and his wife Leonor of Aragon.
   Ferdinand was born in Almeirim on November 17 1433. He became Duke of Viseu when his uncle Henry the Navigator died in 1460. He also succeeded his uncle as Master of the Order of Aviz and responsible for the Discoveries (1460-1470).
