Henry, often referred to as Henry the Navigator, was in search of new trade routes and opportunities for exploration during the Age of Discovery. He aimed to find a sea route to India and to establish direct trade with the East, particularly for spices and gold. Additionally, he sought to expand Portugal's influence and knowledge of the African coast and to spread Christianity. His efforts laid the groundwork for subsequent explorations by Portuguese explorers.
