SEBASTIAN

Sebastian was king of Portugal. He was born in 1554 and died in 1578. In 1578 he led an expedition against the Moors, in which he was defeated and slain at the Battle of Alcazar in Morocco. Rumours afterwards arose that he was not dead, and these led to a number of impostors trying to claim the throne.
