The House of Aviz is a dynasty of kings of Portugal. In 1385, the Interregnum ended with the acclamation of the Master of the Order of Aviz, John, natural son of king Pedro I and Dona Teresa Louren�o as king. The descendants of king John I were still nominal masters of Aviz, though they were often replaced by other priests. The house of Aviz fell to the huge Spanish Empire, which transformed Portugal into a province, with the death of old king Henry I.
