Henry acted jointly as regents. Sebastian's See also:education was entrusted to a Jesuit, D. Luiz Concalves da Camara and to D. Aleixo de Menezes, a See also:veteran who had served under See also:Albuquerque. He See also:grew up resolved to emulate the See also:medieval knights who had reconquered Portugal from the See also:Moors. He was a mystic and a fanatic, whose See also:sole ambition was to See also:lead a crusade against the Mahommedans in See also:north-See also:west See also:Africa. He entrusted the See also:government to the See also:Jesuits; refused either to summon the See also:Cortes or to marry, although the Portuguese See also:crown would otherwise pass to a foreigner, and devoted himself wholly to See also:hunting, See also:martial exercises and the severest forms of See also:asceticism. His first expedition to See also:Morocco, in 1574, was little more than a See also:reconnaissance; in a second expedition Sebastian was killed and his See also:army annihilated at Al Kasr al Kebir (4th of See also:August 1578). Although his See also:body was identified before See also:burial at Al Kasr, reinterred at See also:Ceuta, and thence (1582) removed by See also:- PHILIP

Philip II. of See also:Spain to the Convento dos Jeronymos in See also:Lisbon, many Portuguese refused to See also:credit his death. " Sebastianism " became a See also:religion. Its votaries believed that the rei encuberto, or " hidden king," was either absent on a See also:pilgrimage, or, like King See also:Arthur in See also:Avalon, was awaiting the See also:hour of his second See also:advent in some enchanted See also:island. Four pretenders to the See also:throne successively impersonated Sebastian; the first two, known from their places of See also:birth as the " King of Penamacor " and the " King of Ericeira," were of See also:peasant origin; they were captured in 1584 and 1585 respectively. The third, See also:Gabriel Espinosa, was a See also:man of some education, whose adherents included members of the See also:Austrian and See also:Spanish courts and of the Society of Jesus in Portugal. He was executed in 1594. The See also:fourth was a Calabrian named Marco Tullio, who knew no Portuguese; he impersonated the " hidden king" at See also:Venice in 1603 and gained many supporters, but was ultimately captured and executed. The Sebastianists had an important See also:share in the Portuguese insurrection of 1640, and were again prominent during the Miguelite See also:wars (1828–34). At an even later See also:period See also:Sir R. F. See also:Burton stated that he had met with Sebastianists in remote parts of See also:Brazil (Burton, See also:Camoens, vol. i.p. 363, See also:London, 1881), and the cult appears to have survived until the beginning of the loth See also:century, although it ceased to be a See also:political force after 1834.
