Question

A massive stone compass rose is evidence of a navigational school based on this region’s Sagres Point. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this region whose city of Lagos was the departure point for Gil Eanes (“zheel ee-ah-nesh”) in 1434. Afonso V appended this region to the name of his kingdom to reflect his conquests of Moorish lands.

ANSWER: Algarve [or Al-Gharb; accept Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarve or Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves; prompt on Portugal; prompt on Iberia]

[10e] Historians debate whether the School of Sagres existed or if it was a myth to glorify this Portuguese prince, who popularized the caravel and helped begin the Age of Discovery.
