The House of Aviz (in the current spelling Avis; Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐˈviʃ]) is a dynasty of kings of Portugal. In 1385, the Interregnum of the 1383-1385 crisis ended with the acclamation of the Master of the Order of Aviz, John, natural son of king Peter I and Dona Teresa Lourenço as king. The descendants of king John I were still nominal masters of Aviz, though they were often replaced by other priests. With the death of John II, some claimed that a new branch of the House is inaugurated, with his cousin Manuel, Duke of Beja - hence, the branch of Aviz-Beja.
The House of Aviz was a branch of Portuguese House of Burgundy. The house of Aviz ended with the death of king Henry I in 1580. After a short struggle for the throne of Portugal the Crown of Portugal was taken by Philippine Royal House, though only in a personal union that did not formally end Portuguese independence. The Crown would return to a Portuguese dynasty in 1640 with the House of Braganza, itself a branch of the House of Aviz.
