"They simply came to Brazil" And it was then that the great tradition of Brazilians flooding every comment box in every celebrity social media with PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL started.
It's important to note that Pedro II was deposed from the throne in 1889 because the year before slavery was abolished in Brazil and former slave owners were not compensated for their losses. The monarchy was popular among the general population but the elites were very unhappy with it for years, and the abolishment of slavery was the famous last straw that broke the monarchy's back.
It's important to note that a good head of state was deposed by ANOTHER military coup! Shocking how people dare to ask for a military intervention nowadays.
Nah, he fell because the slavists (who had been his supporters) abandoned him, and now he had no base. The Republicans had been against slavery from the get go.
13:24 Although Queen Maria II of Portugal has no living descendants through the male line, she has plenty through her daughters, the Infantas Maria Ana and Antonia, she was the grandmother of King Friedrich Augustus III of Saxony, Archduchess Maria Joshepa of Austria, mother of the Emperor Karl I of Austria, King Ferdinand I of Romania, Prince William of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, father of Queen Augusta Viktoria of Portugal, and many, many other royals.
5:13 As a Brazilian-Portuguese speaker, I may say your pronunciation of "João" was close to perfect. Well done! João is a hard word for non-natives to pronounce!
*Maria II of Portugal* holds the distinction of being among the earliest *European monarchs born in the Americas* . Her birthplace was Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on April 4, 1819, a time when the Portuguese royal court sought refuge in the region due to ongoing political turmoil. Her full name, Maria da Glória Joana Carlota Leopoldina da Cruz Francisca Xavier de Paula Isidora Micaela Gabriela Rafaela Gonzaga, reflects the royal heritage she inherited. Another European royal figure born in the Americas was *Princess Grace of Monaco* , who, upon her marriage to Prince Rainier III, was born in the United States. *While these are notable instances, are there other such examples of European monarchs born in the Americas?* While Maria II was the first European monarch born in the Americas, her father, *Pedro I of Brazil* (also known as *Pedro IV of Portugal* ), who declared Brazil's independence from Portugal in 1822 and became its first emperor, was the first monarch to rule over an independent nation in the Americas. Pedro I's actions eventually led to the separation of Brazil from Portugal and the establishment of the Empire of Brazil. Certainly, a Portuguese prince (Pedro IV of Portugal and Pedro I of Brazil) proclaimed Brazil's independence, invaded Portugal, and installed a Brazilian princess (Maria II of Portugal), his daughter, as the ruler of Portugal. Meanwhile, a Brazilian prince (Pedro II), son of the aforementioned Portuguese prince, ascended to the throne as Emperor of Brazil. Brazil❤Portugal
Wait up! Pedro I of Brazil was father to Maria II of Portugal, not her brother as you say in the second paragraph. And he wasn't just a prince, he was indeed a crowned king, thus Pedro IV of Portugal as well. His reign was short, but his influence in both Brazilian independence and Portuguese constitutional monarchy is too great, and creates a lot of nuance between the ruleship of both countries.
@@logangrifo I appreciate your keen observation, and I've promptly rectified the text. In the final paragraph, when I refer to "prince and princess," I specifically mean those who are direct offspring of a reigning or incumbent monarch.
Henry I became the first monarch to rule over an independent American nation on March 28th of 1811: King of Haiti,; Agustín I of México became the second monarch to rule over an independent American nation on May 22nd of 1822: Emperor of the Mexican Empire being the first Emperor on the continent, making Pedro the third monarch of the continent and second emperor on the continent on October 12th, of 1822.

The Anglo-Portuguese alliance was taken seriously enough by the English/British that they intervened militarily in at least three of the wars mentioned - the War of Independence, the war against Napoleon and (I think) the war between Maria and Miguel. A lot of the Duke of Wellington's "British" army in the Peninsular War were actually Portuguese units.
and Portuguese took the alliance seriously aswell, by giving to the british access to India, and other maps of the world, giving special treatment at the Portuguese ports worldwide, helped the british not being isolated from the world with napoleon embargo.

Great video, but you missed one little detail right at the beginning. This "brother of a french duke" who started the House of Burgundy was the son of Robert I, duke of Burgundy, who in turn was the son of Robert II, King of France. So all the people you listed were male-line descendants of the french house of Capet.
Amazing pronunciation of Portuguese names! The only one you missed was José I, which you said with a Spanish pronunciation. The Portuguese one would be the same as the French one, a "zh" or "ʒ" sound.
Great video and great pronunciation! Quick correction: prince Luis, who claimed the Brazilian throne, died in 2022. So now the current heir to the Brazilian throne is his younger brother, Bertrand.

13:22 Actually, this is not true. Both of Maria II’s daughters, Maria Ana and Antónia have many, *many* living descendants, mostly in the Catholic line of the House of Hohenzollern and the House of Wettin. It’s just that none of them are Portuguese born and none of them claim the Portuguese throne
Do not forget the royal houses of Austria and Romania, Maria II was a grandmother to King Ferdinand I of Romania and a great-grandmother to Emperor Karl I of Austria.
7:35 to add another country, the German sleeping monarch is emperor Frederic I "Barbarossa", who according to the legend is asleep in a cave in Germany's most northern mountain range (the Harz) in a mountain named "Kyffhäuser"). You can visit the cave and see his throne formed from dripstones.
Another great video! Can I ask, is there a reason why you show some of the monarchs with the English version of their name, and some with the Portuguese name?
Recently i doscovered i'm related to Edward I of Portugal, by a bastard son whos grandsons and great grandsons immigrated to Brazil, then by, i'm descendant of Manuel I and the House of Aviz by a second son, Louis, whose bastard daughter to immigrated ro Brazil. Then, that descendance of two branches of the House of Aviz married it other (descendant of both by female lineage of father side) and gave both mu family, who is the poor branch obviously.
I went to school with Maria II's daughter's descendant, and when we learned about these royals history, our history teacher used to said that "you both are literally cousins, you know?" It's funny.
10:41 _Dom Pedro de Alcântara Francisco António João Carlos Xavier de Paula Miguel Rafael Joaquim José Gonzaga Pascoal Cipriano Serafim de Bourbon e Bragança_
Love these. I know you can't just push everything into these but one interesting detail with the portugese capetingians is that Sancho I had a daughter, Berengaria, who married Valdemar II and thus became queen of Denmark and ancestor to all subsequent rulers of Denmark etc.
I think I commented on another video. Calling this channel “Useful charts” is a hell of an understatement. It’s amazing piece of research and history. Thanks for the content
Queen Maria II & King Fernando II actually have living descendants today through two of their daughters Infanta Maria Ana & Infanta Antónia. Maria Ana married Prince Georg of Saxony who became the penultimate king of Saxony and they were the parents of the last king Friedrich August III as well as of Maria Josepha of Saxony the mother of Blessed Emperor Karl I of Austria, through whom the current Habsburg heir Karl is a descendant of Maria II & Fernando II. Antónia married the Prince of Hohenzollern and thus the Romanian royal family as well as the current Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family also descend from Queen Maria and King Fernando
An interesting point for those curious about that referendum about turning Brazil into a monarchy and the high number of votes for it... Lots of people voted like that as a joke. I remember that time.
The currently heir of Pedro II is Bertrand I!!! The eldest of Princess Elizabeth of Brazil abdicated to get married with a low rank noble, then his brother Luis Maria took his brother's place and then he had D. Pedro Henrique, whom his eldest son was D.Luiz I who died recently and was succeeded by his brother, D. Bertrand of Orléans and Bragança. He's the currently presumtive Emperor of Brazil 😊
Good video! Could have talked a bit about the problems with the current Chief of the Royal House since D. Miguel heirs were prohibited to inherit the throne forever and why do people still support him, talking about the suppost treaty signed between D. Manuel II and the descendent of D. Miguel, it would be interesting!
see, that's why it's a bad Idea to translate names. Joao I and Juan I and Juan II are clearly distinct people. Why change the names so the sound the same?
Do you know the story about the house of Avis where there was a “man in the iron mask” situation that is a descendant but was arrested by another family member who wanted the crown? Could you do a video on that?
7:13 - A note on Serbastian. Here in Brazil, there was (and still is in some parts) something which is called "sebastianism" which is a quasi-messianic movement which has, ironically, inspired a monarchist rebellion in Brazil like Antonio Conselheiro's (not sure how to explain the "lhe" phoneme to english, it could be something like "lero", but the sound is hard to explain) Canudos Revolt in which they thoughtthat Sebastian would return to Brazil to lead them to the restoration of the Bragança House to the throne. Today there are some monarchist sentiments in Brazil, mostly in conservative circles, but it is not a significant force in brazillian politics even among right-wingers, monarchism is mostly defended by those close to catholic traditionalism, but interestingly enough, even some libertarians, seemingly paradoxically, defend monarchism. Alas, like you have said, it is very improbable that there will be a Bragança Restoration any time soon, save a severe shift in the brazillian cultural mindset. !2:40 - A note on the english throne: the House of WIndsor was founded during or shortly after (i cant quite remeber) WW1 because the name "Saxe-Coburg & Gotha" sounded too germanic for the anti-german sentiments of the time, but as far as I can tell, they are basically the same dynasty though, to be fair tough, the House of Windsor has relinquished all claims to german claims.
Just a couple things worth of note: 1. Though Maria was still alive at the time, she had been deemed too mentally ill to rule years prior to the napoelonic wars, so who really ruled at that time was her son, João VI, who had been elevated to Regent-Prince. 2. Brazil really didn't have a very strong indepence movement. That is, until the portuguese forced the royal family to realocate the capital back to Lisbon and refused to grant autonomy to the Brazillian provinces. So, if you want to make fun of the Portuguese, you can tell them that, in fact, it was they who declared indepence from their richest colony (there were some local indepence movements in Brazil, but none of those was close to be as strong as the ones in the rest of Latin America at the same time, and there wasn't any indepence movement encompassing the whole of Brazil until the courts demanded that Pedro I return to Portugal and he refused to do so).
Outstanding video-chart! Congratulations on yet another illuminating monarchical chart, primarily because it encompasses both of our imperial predecessors (Portugal and Brazil). BRAVO! Incidentally, monarchical movements remain alive in both countries: The Kingdom of Portugal and The Empire of Brazil. Finally, might I suggest that you consider checking my modest video from 2012, which I labeled "Brazilian Monarchs?" (Bearing in mind the caveat whereby I included all Portuguese kings from 1500 - the date of Brazil's discovery - through 1889 - the date of the tragic downfall of the Brazilian monarchy)
Quick thing I noticed: At 13:21 it was stated that there were no living descendants of Queen Maria II and that's not exactly true. There are no living legitimate male-line descendants, but Maria's daughters Maria Ana and Antonia are ancestors of the Saxon and Romanian royal families, respectively.
SaxeCoberg and Gotha does still reign . Up until ww1 was their name changed to Windsor but the blood is still SaxeCoberg and Gotha since all are descended from Victoria
The House of Saxe-Coburg Gotha arguably *does* still rule in the UK, they changed their name to Windsor during WW1 as they sounded too German. Prince Philip Mountbatten changed his name from Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg, but by letters patent his children bore the name Windsor.
Do a family tree video of descendants of former monarchies that were/are politicians such as Luiz Philippe Orleans-Braganza of Brazil, Louis-Jean de Nicolaÿ of France, Simeon II of Bulgaria, etc.
Dom João VI was an absolutely remarkable statesman. He tricked Napoleon, founded an unique intercontinental Kingdom and was involved in the Independence of his own dominion - that being given to his son as a legitimate monarch, saved Brazil from the balcanization and caudillos of post-Spain South America. It's unfortunate that so many people in Brazil and even in Portugal are ignorant to the point of disonesty about João.
You ALWAYS nail the pronunciation of João. You're the only gringo I know who can do it. This should be enough for you to get a Brazilian passport IMHO (although I don't know why you would want one, honestly).
Me too! I speculated on why the House of Braganza family tree seemed to have more twists and turns than a convoluted labyrinth designed by a particularly mischievous hedge maze architect. It's almost as if each branch of the family tree decided to embark on their own epic quest, complete with dramatic plot twists and unexpected alliances. I mean, who could have predicted that moment when one Braganza cousin, while sipping tea in a quaint Portuguese garden, would suddenly declare, 'I shall venture forth to establish my own miniature kingdom in the backyard, complete with a parliament of squirrels!' As I delved deeper into the annals of Braganza history, I stumbled upon the legendary 'Braganza Banana Rebellion' of 1723, where a distant relative, known for his peculiar fondness for fruit-themed revolutions, attempted to overthrow the monarchy using a battalion of well-trained banana peel-wielding troops. It's a tale that has been passed down through generations with great amusement and a hint of perplexity. And then there's the enigmatic 'Braganza-Cuckoo Clock Conspiracy' of 1898, during which a Braganza nobleman became convinced that time could be manipulated by strategically placing cuckoo clocks in various corners of the palace. It led to a series of whimsical experiments involving clockwork contraptions and melodious chimes, leaving historians both baffled and amused.
The problem with D. Duarte Pio being the heir to the throne is that in the monarchy's constitution the descendants of king D. Miguel can't be kings of Portugal.
Correction: Louis died July 2022, his brother Bertrand is the succesfully heir. Make a video of it because the new heir is the Belgian prince of Ligne, so maybe the future Brazilian monarch would be also Belgiam 😅
0:28: 👑 The Portuguese and Spanish kings of the House of Burgundy were separate families despite their close proximity. 3:43: 👑 King Pedro I of Portugal, also known as Peter the Just and Peter the Cruel, had a tumultuous reign filled with love affairs and political intrigue. 6:14: 👑 John II of Portugal was considered the greatest Portuguese monarch, who signed the infamous Treaty of Tordesillas. 9:09: 👑 Portuguese monarchy and their actions during war and succession. 12:24: 👑 Queen Maria II of Portugal married into the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and her descendants continued to rule under the name Braganza until Portugal became a Republic. Recap by Tammy AI
Pedro King of Portugal had two sisters Leonor of Portugal who married King Pedro IV of Aragon, but she had no children and the other sister Maria of Portugal known as Formosíssima Maria married King Afonso XI of Castile and had a son from this marriage who was Pedro I of Castile. So Pedro King of Portugal was the uncle of Pedro I of Castile.
João I of Portugal King of Portugal was the bastard son of King Pedro I of Portugal and Teresa Lourenço, Pedro I of Portugal's mistress. In addition, John I of Portugal King of Portugal married John of Ghent's daughter, Philippa of Lancaster.
D. Maria I was mentally ill long before the end of her reign. D. João (future king João VI) was regent since 1792. So it was João who took the decision to move to Brazil and remain in Brazil. He only went back to Portugal when his powers were threatened by the liberals

They should have made it a bit more clear but I suspect they are just referring to Maria’s male line descendants probably through her eldest son.
- French King: Wants to send a deal to John 1
+ Diplomat after 4 months: I got you 3 trade deals, each Iberian King thought that the deal was meant for them
13:22 Actually, this is not true. Both of Maria II’s daughters, Maria Ana and Antónia have many, *many* living descendants, mostly in the Catholic line of the House of Hohenzollern and the House of Wettin.
It’s just that none of them are Portuguese born and none of them claim the Portuguese throne
Do not forget the royal houses of Austria and Romania, Maria II was a grandmother to King Ferdinand I of Romania and a great-grandmother to Emperor Karl I of Austria.
7:35 to add another country, the German sleeping monarch is emperor Frederic I "Barbarossa", who according to the legend is asleep in a cave in Germany's most northern mountain range (the Harz) in a mountain named "Kyffhäuser"). You can visit the cave and see his throne formed from dripstones.
Excellent video - as always. The story (history) of the departure to Brazil is so awesome. And your Portuguese is great
Another great video!
Can I ask, is there a reason why you show some of the monarchs with the English version of their name, and some with the Portuguese name?
Recently i doscovered i'm related to Edward I of Portugal, by a bastard son whos grandsons and great grandsons immigrated to Brazil, then by, i'm descendant of Manuel I and the House of Aviz by a second son, Louis, whose bastard daughter to immigrated ro Brazil. Then, that descendance of two branches of the House of Aviz married it other (descendant of both by female lineage of father side) and gave both mu family, who is the poor branch obviously.
Thank you for sharing this video with us. Shoutout from Mexico!!
Fun fact Duarte Pio is also a direct male line descensant of Hugh Capet.
Yes indeed but both the houses of Avis and Bragança are illegitimate so there’s that, not like it really matters, they lay no claim to France
I went to school with Maria II's daughter's descendant, and when we learned about these royals history, our history teacher used to said that "you both are literally cousins, you know?"
It's funny.
Your name really "Estrela Orleans Bourbon"?
10:41
_Dom Pedro de Alcântara Francisco António João Carlos Xavier de Paula Miguel Rafael Joaquim José Gonzaga Pascoal Cipriano Serafim de Bourbon e Bragança_
Like from Brazil 🇧🇷👍, D.Pedro I Brazil need you again
For me, I find the history of Portugal and Spain very interesting.
8:55 Spain wasnt ruling Portugal, it were the Portuguese in favor of Spain that were ruling for it damaging their own country, like the Vasconcelos
Love these. I know you can't just push everything into these but one interesting detail with the portugese capetingians is that Sancho I had a daughter, Berengaria, who married Valdemar II and thus became queen of Denmark and ancestor to all subsequent rulers of Denmark etc.
Very good pronunciation
I think I commented on another video. Calling this channel “Useful charts” is a hell of an understatement. It’s amazing piece of research and history. Thanks for the content
Queen Maria II & King Fernando II actually have living descendants today through two of their daughters Infanta Maria Ana & Infanta Antónia. Maria Ana married Prince Georg of Saxony who became the penultimate king of Saxony and they were the parents of the last king Friedrich August III as well as of Maria Josepha of Saxony the mother of Blessed Emperor Karl I of Austria, through whom the current Habsburg heir Karl is a descendant of Maria II & Fernando II. Antónia married the Prince of Hohenzollern and thus the Romanian royal family as well as the current Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family also descend from Queen Maria and King Fernando
An interesting point for those curious about that referendum about turning Brazil into a monarchy and the high number of votes for it... Lots of people voted like that as a joke. I remember that time.
I’ve bought a couple charts. Love this channel.
The way you pronounced João is actually very good, most English speakers don't do the nasaly "ão" sound but you did it very well, great video!
The currently heir of Pedro II is Bertrand I!!! The eldest of Princess Elizabeth of Brazil abdicated to get married with a low rank noble, then his brother Luis Maria took his brother's place and then he had D. Pedro Henrique, whom his eldest son was D.Luiz I who died recently and was succeeded by his brother, D. Bertrand of Orléans and Bragança. He's the currently presumtive Emperor of Brazil 😊
Wow very nice video about the Portuguese dynasty and Brazil. Amazing….
João foi pronunciado de forma perfeita !
Good video! Could have talked a bit about the problems with the current Chief of the Royal House since D. Miguel heirs were prohibited to inherit the throne forever and why do people still support him, talking about the suppost treaty signed between D. Manuel II and the descendent of D. Miguel, it would be interesting!
Viva Portugal⚪️🔵
Great prononciation by the way
Portugese royal family really just said:
We are going to brazil!
They started the meme
see, that's why it's a bad Idea to translate names. Joao I and Juan I and Juan II are clearly distinct people. Why change the names so the sound the same?
Do you know the story about the house of Avis where there was a “man in the iron mask” situation that is a descendant but was arrested by another family member who wanted the crown? Could you do a video on that?
Well, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha does and doesn't still reign in the UK: the house itself does, but the name was changed to Windsor during World War I.
0:36 big error, there was no spanish at the time, spain didnt even existed.
7:13 - A note on Serbastian. Here in Brazil, there was (and still is in some parts) something which is called "sebastianism" which is a quasi-messianic movement which has, ironically, inspired a monarchist rebellion in Brazil like Antonio Conselheiro's (not sure how to explain the "lhe" phoneme to english, it could be something like "lero", but the sound is hard to explain) Canudos Revolt in which they thoughtthat Sebastian would return to Brazil to lead them to the restoration of the Bragança House to the throne.
Today there are some monarchist sentiments in Brazil, mostly in conservative circles, but it is not a significant force in brazillian politics even among right-wingers, monarchism is mostly defended by those close to catholic traditionalism, but interestingly enough, even some libertarians, seemingly paradoxically, defend monarchism. Alas, like you have said, it is very improbable that there will be a Bragança Restoration any time soon, save a severe shift in the brazillian cultural mindset.
!2:40 - A note on the english throne: the House of WIndsor was founded during or shortly after (i cant quite remeber) WW1 because the name "Saxe-Coburg & Gotha" sounded too germanic for the anti-german sentiments of the time, but as far as I can tell, they are basically the same dynasty though, to be fair tough, the House of Windsor has relinquished all claims to german claims.
Gringo posta algo sobre o Brasil
Brasileiro: quem ousa me invocar?
Just a couple things worth of note:
1. Though Maria was still alive at the time, she had been deemed too mentally ill to rule years prior to the napoelonic wars, so who really ruled at that time was her son, João VI, who had been elevated to Regent-Prince.
2. Brazil really didn't have a very strong indepence movement. That is, until the portuguese forced the royal family to realocate the capital back to Lisbon and refused to grant autonomy to the Brazillian provinces. So, if you want to make fun of the Portuguese, you can tell them that, in fact, it was they who declared indepence from their richest colony (there were some local indepence movements in Brazil, but none of those was close to be as strong as the ones in the rest of Latin America at the same time, and there wasn't any indepence movement encompassing the whole of Brazil until the courts demanded that Pedro I return to Portugal and he refused to do so).
Well, if we follow male primogeniture, the Braganzas's Brazilian claims have reunited with Miguel's line.
Massive respect for Jack, who nailed it at saying D. Pedro IV full name - with a fairly good pronunciation. Portuguese phonetics ain't easy!
you just made my day. I am trying to research the roots of my family and the origin of my surname and this video made my life much easier
In Brazil we also have the myth that King Sebastian will return. History says he will return from the dead to save Brazil from calamity.
Where can i buy some like the one you smoke?
5:10 As a Portuguese speaker I can say you nailed the Portuguese pronunciation
Thank you for the video about my country, Portugal. 🇵🇹
Outstanding video-chart! Congratulations on yet another illuminating monarchical chart, primarily because it encompasses both of our imperial predecessors (Portugal and Brazil). BRAVO!
Incidentally, monarchical movements remain alive in both countries: The Kingdom of Portugal and The Empire of Brazil.
Finally, might I suggest that you consider checking my modest video from 2012, which I labeled "Brazilian Monarchs?" (Bearing in mind the caveat whereby I included all Portuguese kings from 1500 - the date of Brazil's discovery - through 1889 - the date of the tragic downfall of the Brazilian monarchy)
Peter ripping out those hearts makes me think Peter the Heartless or Peter the Bloodthirsty would be a great epithet
A lost opportunity
or Peter the Vengeful since he avenged his love
Quick thing I noticed:
At 13:21 it was stated that there were no living descendants of Queen Maria II and that's not exactly true. There are no living legitimate male-line descendants, but Maria's daughters Maria Ana and Antonia are ancestors of the Saxon and Romanian royal families, respectively.
SaxeCoberg and Gotha does still reign . Up until ww1 was their name changed to Windsor but the blood is still SaxeCoberg and Gotha since all are descended from Victoria
The House of Saxe-Coburg Gotha arguably *does* still rule in the UK, they changed their name to Windsor during WW1 as they sounded too German. Prince Philip Mountbatten changed his name from Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg, but by letters patent his children bore the name Windsor.
In England, that's King Arthur. In Portugal, that's Sebastian. In America, that's Elvis.
Do a family tree video of descendants of former monarchies that were/are politicians such as Luiz Philippe Orleans-Braganza of Brazil, Louis-Jean de Nicolaÿ of France, Simeon II of Bulgaria, etc.
Dom João VI was an absolutely remarkable statesman. He tricked Napoleon, founded an unique intercontinental Kingdom and was involved in the Independence of his own dominion - that being given to his son as a legitimate monarch, saved Brazil from the balcanization and caudillos of post-Spain South America. It's unfortunate that so many people in Brazil and even in Portugal are ignorant to the point of disonesty about João.
No way I just get this video randomly recommended to me when Maria Francisca of Braganza just appeared in a famous show in Portugal TODAY!
You ALWAYS nail the pronunciation of João. You're the only gringo I know who can do it.
This should be enough for you to get a Brazilian passport IMHO (although I don't know why you would want one, honestly).
Please don’t delete the old version of this video!
Old versions can always be found here:

@@UsefulCharts Love it thanks. I have the old version of the poster so I prefer those. If (probably when) I buy the new posters, i’ll rewatch these.
Been waiting for this one
two Peters/Pedros both known as Peter the just/cruel?
Goes to show that one mans justice is another mans cruelty.
Yay! Another Royal Family tree!
I was just discussing the House of Braganza the other month.
Me too! I speculated on why the House of Braganza family tree seemed to have more twists and turns than a convoluted labyrinth designed by a particularly mischievous hedge maze architect. It's almost as if each branch of the family tree decided to embark on their own epic quest, complete with dramatic plot twists and unexpected alliances. I mean, who could have predicted that moment when one Braganza cousin, while sipping tea in a quaint Portuguese garden, would suddenly declare, 'I shall venture forth to establish my own miniature kingdom in the backyard, complete with a parliament of squirrels!'
As I delved deeper into the annals of Braganza history, I stumbled upon the legendary 'Braganza Banana Rebellion' of 1723, where a distant relative, known for his peculiar fondness for fruit-themed revolutions, attempted to overthrow the monarchy using a battalion of well-trained banana peel-wielding troops. It's a tale that has been passed down through generations with great amusement and a hint of perplexity.
And then there's the enigmatic 'Braganza-Cuckoo Clock Conspiracy' of 1898, during which a Braganza nobleman became convinced that time could be manipulated by strategically placing cuckoo clocks in various corners of the palace. It led to a series of whimsical experiments involving clockwork contraptions and melodious chimes, leaving historians both baffled and amused.
5:09 that's perfect!
You should have included the Count Henrique's wife too, she is important.
Fun fact: Pedro I of Brazil (IV of Portugal) was brother in law of Napoleon, as both married sisters of the Habsburg royal family.
another fun fact: pedro 1 was pooping with a diarrhea when he declared independence
That was the best Joao pronunciation I have ever heard off of a foreigner.
The problem with D. Duarte Pio being the heir to the throne is that in the monarchy's constitution the descendants of king D. Miguel can't be kings of Portugal.
The First Burgundian French nobles that you mentioned at the beginning of the video, were descendant of the Capetian House.
Thank you for the video 👍🏻
Saxe-Coburg-Braganza is, was far as i know, today at least partially House Windsor.
There are living descendants of Maria II but they are members of the Habsburg and Catholic Hohenzollern family. I think I need to mention this fact.
Queen Maria II still has descendants, the pretenders of Saxony
This is so impressive. The reigns of the Peter’s,and reign of the John’s at the same time for each of the names.
And what about delivering your products in Brazil?
Correction: Louis died July 2022, his brother Bertrand is the succesfully heir. Make a video of it because the new heir is the Belgian prince of Ligne, so maybe the future Brazilian monarch would be also Belgiam 😅
The new 'young' heir is Rafael de Orleans Bragança, not Henri de Ligne
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
6:12 never thought Duarte was Edward, we also have Eduardo
Afonso Henriques and John I were greatest kings without a doubt, true leaders
Why are some names translated but others aren't? John, Peter, Edward, James v Fernando, Afonso
0:28: 👑 The Portuguese and Spanish kings of the House of Burgundy were separate families despite their close proximity.
3:43: 👑 King Pedro I of Portugal, also known as Peter the Just and Peter the Cruel, had a tumultuous reign filled with love affairs and political intrigue.
6:14: 👑 John II of Portugal was considered the greatest Portuguese monarch, who signed the infamous Treaty of Tordesillas.
9:09: 👑 Portuguese monarchy and their actions during war and succession.
12:24: 👑 Queen Maria II of Portugal married into the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and her descendants continued to rule under the name Braganza until Portugal became a Republic.
Recap by Tammy AI
there was no spanish under Burgundy, spain didnt even existed.
As someone who is called João and lives in a non portuguese speaking country, your pronunciation was veru good
Pedro King of Portugal had two sisters Leonor of Portugal who married King Pedro IV of Aragon, but she had no children and the other sister Maria of Portugal known as Formosíssima Maria married King Afonso XI of Castile and had a son from this marriage who was Pedro I of Castile. So Pedro King of Portugal was the uncle of Pedro I of Castile.
Peter I of Portugal
João I of Portugal King of Portugal was the bastard son of King Pedro I of Portugal and Teresa Lourenço, Pedro I of Portugal's mistress. In addition, John I of Portugal King of Portugal married John of Ghent's daughter, Philippa of Lancaster.
"a grandson who devised the first set of Portuguese written laws and got himself excommunicated." Why did I laugh at this 😂
D. Maria I was mentally ill long before the end of her reign. D. João (future king João VI) was regent since 1792. So it was João who took the decision to move to Brazil and remain in Brazil. He only went back to Portugal when his powers were threatened by the liberals
I waited a long time for this video! Ave glória, Ave império! Cheers from Brazil
Your "João"was almost perfect!
