Henry III of Castile (4 October 1379 – 25 December 1406), called the Suffering due to his ill health, was the son of John I and Eleanor of Aragon. He succeeded his father as King of Castile in 1390. During King Henry's reign, the Castilian fleet won several victories against the English; Henry III sent a naval fleet in 1400 that destroyed Tétouan in North Africa, a pirate base. In 1402, he began the colonisation of the Canary Islands, sending French explorer Jean de Béthencourt to do so. In 1396, he deflected a Portuguese invasion with an attack on Badajoz, finally signing a peace treaty with his brother-in-law, King John I of Portugal, on 15 August 1402. The coins denomination, a Blanca, is a remarkable piece of history that has stood the test of time. Its rarity and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collector's inventory. 1159
