Monday, February 27th

All you need to do tonight is find out the identity of an important person. This person is credited with helping start the GREAT AGE of EUROPEAN EXPLORATION!
Come with the name of this important person tomorrow. Don't share it with anyone. Keep it to yourself. Keep it secret, keep it safe!

Here are the clues to the identity of this person:
I lived mostly in the 15th century.
I made it the chief aim of my life to extend the boundaries of maritime discovery.
I was the third son of King João of Portugal, born in 1394.
Much of the wealth I had in life came from my position as head of the Order of Christ. I used the wealth to support the voyages I sponsored.
Legend has it that I created a school dedicated to navigation, map making, and increasing our knowledge of the world.

Okay, Who Am I?
