Dom Miguel, son of Manuel and Isabella of Portugal, dies at the age of two years. He had been heir to the thrones of both Spain and Portugal, so this death dashes Ferdinand of Aragon's hopes for a union of the Kingdoms. It also leaves Ferdinand and Isabella's daughter Juana, and her husband Philip of Burgundy, as the heirs to Spain.
