My turn!: I became king of Scotland at the age of 7. I was regarded as one of Scotland's greatest rulers and I brought about a period of peace and prosperity in the country. After attempts to bear an heir to my throne, I suffered a mysterious death by falling off my horse. Who am I?
Alexander III of Scotland?

Tower of St Vincent in Lisbon using what my guide book says is Portugeese Late Gothic style

Lovely holiday that was too remenber it well
That is correct!
Lisbon is a great city to visit.Quote:
Belém Tower (in Portuguese Torre de Belém, pronounced [ˈtoʁ(ɨ) dɨ bɨˈlɐ̃ȷ̃]) or the Tower of St Vincent[1] is a fortified tower located in the Belém district of Lisbon, Portugal. It is an UNESCO World Heritage Site (along with the nearby Jerónimos Monastery)[2] because of the significant role it played in the Portuguese maritime discoveries of the era of the Age of Discoveries.[3] The tower was commissioned by King John II[4] to be both part of a defense system at the mouth of the Tagus River and a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon.[3]
The tower was built in the early 16th century and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style
