From a young age, Joan expressed a desire to become a nun; however, as she was second-in-line to the throne, her father would not allow it. During his military expedition to Tangier in 1471, Joan served ably as Regent of the Portuguese Kingdom. After vehemently refusing several proposals of marriage, Joan joined the Dominican Convent of Jesus in Aveiro in 1475. Her brother had by then been given an heir, so the family line was no longer in danger. Still, she was compelled several times to leave the convent and return to court, before she was finally professed as a nun. She continued to be a great supporter of her brother, John II of Portugal, throughout his reign and her life.
