Manuel I of Portugal.

Manuel I, the Fortunate (Port. o Venturoso), 14th king of Portugal and the Algarves (Alcochete, May 31, 1469 – December 13, 1521 in Lisbon) was the son of Infante Fernando, Duke of Viseu (1433 - 1470), by his wife, Infanta Beatriz of Portugal.

King Manuel was a member of the Templar Order and has role in some of the Assassin apprentice missions in Assassins Creed: Brotherhood. It is revealed that he works with the Templars. He supported Portuguese voyages to India with the pretext that they were there only to find spices, but in reality it was to find Assassin strongholds. In 1503, he sent Pedro Álvares Cabral's fleet to Calicut to ferret out the local Assassin Guild.[1]
