as a portuguese monarchist, i salute you...Dear MM,<br /><br />as a portuguese monarchist, i salute you for your excelent post. your knowledge in portuguese history is remarkable.<br />i only have a few things that i'd like tou to notice:<br /><br />D. Pedro IV, the Soldier-King, gave Portugal a Constitutional Charte, the likes of the one the last of the French Bourbon gave to His people, to reinstaure the former ancient liberties and laws of the Monarchy, perverted by the enlightened absolutism.<br /><br />this resulted in war, dreadfully, one that still divides portugueses monarchists (Integralists vs Constitutionalists)<br /><br />Ferdinand II o Portugal is known as Dom Fernando de Portugal, and such is his importance to our history, that the Braganza lineage that descends form him is called Braganza-Coburgo and Gotha.<br /><br />He did returned to politics after his son Pedro V died, however.<br /><br />Since Pedro V, the Good, died very early, with suspects of poisening, the second child of the royal family, Luis I of Porugal, was called on sucession. Ferdinand returned to the regency council while Luis I waited for his coronation.<br /><br />He suported his son politically until his death, and still in Portugal the people of Sintra praise his memoryManuel Marques Pinto de Rezendehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265528253922767869noreply@blogger.com
