# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 23 April 1185, Afonso Sanches was the second son of Sancho I of Portugal and Dulce of Aragon, but the eldest to survive. He inherited the crown on 27 March 1211 after his father's death. His twelve-year reign ended with his own death on 25 March 1223, leaving behind a kingdom and two nicknames that told more about his body than his statecraft.
