Miguel da Paz, Hereditary Prince of Portugal and Prince of Asturias and Girona (Portuguese:Miguel da Paz de Trastâmara e Avis,Portuguese pronunciation:[miˈɣɛldɐˈpaʃ];Spanish:Miguel de la Paz de Avís y Trastámara, "Michael of Peace") (23 August 1498 – 19 July 1500) was a Portuguese royal prince, son of KingManuel I of Portugal and his first wife,Isabella of Aragon, Princess of Asturias.[1]
Miguel da Paz was born inZaragoza,Spain on 23 August 1498.[1] His mother, Isabella of Aragon, died within an hour of his birth. He was shortly sworn heir to the various Iberian crowns by the courts of Portugal, Castile and Aragon.[1] For the next two years, he was the recognized heir of his father's kingdom ofPortugal and of the kingdoms ofCastile,León andAragon, which he would inherit from his grandparents,Ferdinand II of Aragon andIsabella I of Castile.[2] As such, he was styledPrince of Portugal,Prince of Asturias andPrince of Girona.
Miguel died inGranada on 19 July 1500, in his grandmother's arms.[3] He was buried in theCapilla Real, in Granada.
In October 1500, Miguel's father marriedMaria of Aragon, who was also the younger sister of Miguel's mother. Maria gave birth to Manuel's eventual successor,John III and toseveral other children.[4]
The hopes of Isabella I and Ferdinand II to unite all of theIberian kingdoms vanished with Miguel's death.[1] His auntJoanna inherited Castile, León and Aragon, and it was her grandsonPhilip II who established a short-livedIberian Union.
