As a bastard, he had little chance of succeeding to the throne, but his half-brother Ferdinand I died without an heir. As usual at such times, a succession war broke out. The Portuguese did not want to be ruled by Castile, so they crowned him as John I of Portugal. The final battle between John I of Castille and John I of Portugal ended with a Portuguese victory at Aljubarrota in 1385. In 1386, he married Philippa of Lancaster, and concluded the Treaty of Windsor with his father-in-law John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. This is the oldest international treaty in the world still in force.

This bronze statue of Dom João I was created by Leopoldo de Almeida in 1971. Dom João I was the 10th king of Portugal and the founder of the Avis dynasty. He is best remembered for securing Portugal’s independence by defeating the Kingdom of Castile at the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385. His reign (1385–1433) marked a period of political stability and the early beginnings of Portuguese overseas exploration. In the statue, Dom João I sits on horseback holding a scepter in his right hand—symbolizing royal authority—while the horse lowers its head in a gesture of obedience.
