You should accept the real names... Henrique for "Henry", Bragança for "Braganza" (is that even a thing). Filipina should also be accepted as an alternative for Habsburg dynasty.

But main question is what Juan Sebastian Elcano has to do with Portuguese history??

Oh and "Alfonso"... Afonso it's his Portuguese name so it should also be accepted
