Which Henry?

Although Henry the Navigator is traditionally^{Ref needed !} associated with the expansion of Portuguese interests in Socotra and Ethiopia, dates for these events make is unlikely that Henry the Navigator was the individual who aided Queen Elena of Ethiopia in slowing the advance of the Ottoman Empire in that region. Henry the Navigator died in 1460 years before Elena wrote to the court of Portugal seeking an alliance. The most likely Henry (of Madiera) who was appointed the captaincy was Henry the German the son in law of Henry the Navigator^{Ref needed !}.
