Manuel the Fortunate (Or the Unfortunate in this case) had numerous sons in OTL including Miguel de Paz, John III of Portugal, Luis, Duke of Beja and so on. He had about three surviving daughters, (Isabel, Beatriz and Maria).
But what if all of his children were daughters? How would that look? Who would they marry? He'd have fewer opportunities to make alliances with Austria, but at least he wouldn't exactly 'steal' Eleanor of Austria from John, Prince of Portugal. Assuming he doesn't get an annulment from Maria of Aragon after her numerous failures of producing a son, Manuel would be stuck with 10 daughters (Assuming they all survive), and another one daughter from Eleanor.
From his first marriage to Isabel of Aragon, he had a short-lived son named Miguel de Paz whom Manuel (And the Catholic Monarchs) hoped would reunite most of the Iberian Peninsula, but that short-lived dream would not exist ITL as Juana of Castile would become heiress earlier. Female!John might marry Charles V or Ferdinand (If he gets Spain ITL).
How else would it effect Portugal, let me know.
