- Portugal-info.net website, Aug. 1, 2011:João I acclaimed as the King in Coimbra (1385-1433) - (First of House of Avis) - Spain does not accept this claim of the Portuguese throne.
- Enc. britannica online, Aug. 1, 2011:The house of Aviz, 1383-1580. "The legitimate male line of Henry of Burgundy ended at Ferdinand's death, and, when the Cortes met at Coimbra in March-April 1385, John of Aviz was declared king (as John I) and became the founder of a new dynasty. This result was not unopposed, as many of the nobility and clergy still considered the queen of Castile the rightful heiress. However, popular feeling was strong, and John I had valuable and trusted allies in Nuno Álvares Pereira, "the Holy Constable," his military champion, and in João das Regras, his chancellor and jurist."
