Did you know that Iran (wrongly known as Persia by Westerners back then, like Netherlands/Holland) fought with Portugal for more than a century? I was aware of this war but I thought it only lasted for like 2 months.

That looks like [King Sebastian](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_of_Portugal), particularly in [this](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebasti%C3%A3o_I_de_Portugal#/media/Ficheiro%3ASebasti%C3%A3o_de_Portugal%2C_c._1571-1574_-_Crist%C3%B3v%C3%A3o_de_Morais.png) portrait.
As molduras das pinturas destes gajos lembram cartas de Yu-gi-oh
Nice. I thought I also heard that they were at a time allies against the Ottomans (common enemies). But not 100% sure about it.
E os nossos grandes aliados estavam do lado da Persia/Irão
