As a boy, Afonso was married to Isabella of Aragon, the eldest daughter of the catholic royal couple, reyes catolicos. Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon had a male heir - Juan, Prince of Asturias - but he was a feeble child and not expected to survive. Princess Isabella was thus the probable heiress to the joint throne of Castile and Aragon and, by being married to the heir of Portugal that meant a union of the Iberian kingdoms in Portuguese hands. The Spanish monarchs apparently desired this not to happen. They tried every diplomatic channel to have the wedding dissolved, without success, due to Portuguese influence with the Pope. Their cause was apparently lost, when an accident saved Aragon and Castile from future annexation. Isabella of Asturias (1470–1498) was the Queen Consort of Portugal and the eldest daughter and heiress presumptive of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile. ...

Afonso died after falling off his horse under mysterious circumstances, during a ride in the Tagus. Murder was never proven but the Spanish had much to gain from his disappearance. Moreover, the prince's valet, an exiled Castilian boy, disappeared the same day after being the only eyewitness of the event.

With Afonso's death, John II was left with no legitimate male heirs, and the crown then went to Manuel I of Portugal when John died in 1495. Afonso's widow Isabella was married to Manuel, thus again creating the possibility of a union of all Iberian kingdoms. Isabella bore a son, Miguel (born 1498 and died 1500). Manuel's chance to become the king-consort of Spain vanished on the death of Isabella in 1498. After the death of Juan, Prince of Asturias, baby Miguel of Portugal became heir to the Spanish crowns and was recognized as Prince of Asturias. His death in 1500 put a final end to the possibility of this union, and Joan the Mad (Miguel's aunt) became the heiress of Spain, eventually bringing those kingdoms to the Habsburgs. The union took place about a hundred years later, 1580, when the Habsburg king of Spain, Philip II, grandson of Joan the Mad and grandson of Manuel of Portugal, annexed Portugal and its dominions.
