Since he was born, Pedro was one of John I's favourite sons. His father made possible for him and his brothers an exceptional education rarely seen in those times. Close to his brother Edward and John, Pedro grew in a calm environment free of intrigues. In 1415 he goes to Ceuta with his father and brothers to take part in the conquest of the stronghold.

When his brother Edward I, King of Portugal died in 1438, his son Afonso V (Pedro's nephew) was an infant and the choice for the regency was the Queen-Mother Leonor of Aragon (Pedro's sister-in-law). This choice for the regency was not popular because Leonor was Aragonese, so in a reunion of the Cortes, summoned by Pedro's brother John, Duke of Aveiro, Pedro was appointed as Regent of the Kingdom during the minority of his nephew Afonso V, a choice that pleases both the peolple and the fast-growing [[Bourgeoisie].

However, inside the Portuguese aristocracy, especially the ones around Afonso, Count of Barcelos (Pedro's half-brother), Leonor of Aragon was preferred and there were doubts about Pedro political hability. A war of influences started and few years later Afonso of Barcelos manages to become young King Afonso V's favourite uncle.

In 1443, in a gesture of reconciliation, Pedro made his own half-brother Afonso first Duke of Braganza and the relations between both seemed to return to normality. But, in 1445, Afonso took offence because Isabel of Coimbra, Pedro's daughter is the choice for Afonso V's wife, and not one of her daughters. Indifferent to the intrigues, Pedro continued his regency and the country prospered under his influece. It is during this period that the first subsidies for the exploration of the Atlantic Ocean are implemented, and the organization is given to Henry the Navigator ((Pedro's brother).

On June 9, 1448 Afonso V came of age and Pedro gave him the control of the country to the king. Influenced by Afonso, Count of Barcelos, and recently Duke of Braganza, Afonso V nulifies all Pedro's edicts, starting, against himself, by the ones that concentrated the powers in the figure of the King.

The following year, under accusations that years later would prove false, Afonso V declared his uncle Pedro, Duke of Coimbra a rebel. The situation became unsustainable and a civil war begun. It was short because on May 20, 1449, during the Battle of Alfarrobeira, near Alverca, Pedro, Duke of Coimbra died. The exact conditions of his death are debatable: some say it was in combat, other say he was assassinated by one of his own men.

With the death of Pedro, Portugal fell in the hands of Afonso, Duke of Braganza, with a growing influece over the destiny of the country. However, his regency would never be forgotten, and Pedro was cited many times by King John II of Portugal (his grand-nephew) as his main influece. The cruel persecution of the Braganzas by John II was perhaps the answer to the conspirations that caused the fall of one of the major princes of the Ínclita Geração.
