# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Viseu on 31 October 1391, Edward was the eldest son of John I of Portugal and Philippa of Lancaster, making him the senior figure in what became known as the "Illustrious Generation" — a cohort of royal siblings who reshaped Portuguese society through the fifteenth century. He took the throne in 1433, carrying the moniker "the Philosopher King" into a reign better known for reflection than expansion. His pen moved as much as his court, philosophical works marking him as "the Eloquent" in an age that rarely expected intellect from a crown. He ruled just five years, dying on 9 September 1438, leaving Portugal steadied but not transformed.
