Your theory is very nice but thankfully the family was not in the city when it actually happened, they were in one of the palaces around that area. However, D.José, her father, was very traumatized By the events because he had to see all the devastation and forced the entire family to live in that palace made of wood (he named it “a real barraca” = “the royal tent”) out of fear for another earthquaque and told a lot of stories about Those events. that could have traumatized her to the point of imagening what would have been like and therefore think it was hell.

Apparently, the first King of the House of Braganza, John IV of Portugal, kicked a Franciscan friar begging for alms, which is essentially charity. The friar then cursed his line, stating no first-born son of the dynasty would ever live king enough to wear a crown. During the rule of Braganza monarchs in Brazil and Portugal, there were only 3 exceptions: 1.) Pedro V, King of Portugal, but he died only a few years after his mother, Maria II, of cholera without ever having produced children from his marriage 2.) Carlos I, eldest son of Luís I, who reigned for a good deal of time, but became the first King of Portugal to die a violent death since Sebastian of the House of Avis when he was assassinated in 1908 3.) Dom Pedro Augusto (Prince Peter August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha), eldest grandson Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil from his second daughter Leopoldina. Although he lived quite a long life and was originally popular, he, like his great-great-great grandmother, succumbed to mental illness, and without ever marrying or having any children, died in an insane asylum in Austria in 1934 The curse has since appeared to have abated with the abolition of the Portuguese monarchy in 1910 and the Brazilian monarchy in 1889

That is correct. She was haunted by images of her father in hell due to the measures he took whilst king. This was not helped by revanchiste priests constantly tormenting her about saving her father's soul from hell by upturning most measures taken during her father's reign to sanitise n modernise the country. The priests were relentless. Carlota Joaquina was an extremely common persons of her time. Saying she had loose morals is an understatement. She was a despicable creature extremely vulgar. Defying description. She caused a lot of problems leading to the civil war , during . She was a horrible person.

Congratulations on actually trying (and succeeding) to correctly pronounce Portuguese names! Always makes me happy to see creators' effort to respect the cultures. Love your channel ❤️

This is the best and most attractive way of learning history ❤️💖

I know I've said this a lot before in past comment sections, but you are sincerely talented at researching and storytelling. I love getting to know all about lesser known historical figures, and you do so in such a compelling way! You did a wonderful series on Queen Victoria's children and grandchildren. Would you ever consider a series on King George III's siblings and his children? Proof of concept: His little sister Caroline Matilda of Great Britain, princess of Great Britain and queen consort to King Christian VII of Denmark and Norway, lived an incredibly dramatic, tragic life and was such a fascinating person you can't help but empathize with. A lot of his siblings lead interesting lives with plenty of scandal. And in regards to his children, Queen Victoria's uncles *and* rarely talked about aunts lived extraordinary lives, such as Princess Augusta Sophia, whom never "officially" married, but was rumored to have secretly wed a commoner. Her life leading up to that well-known relationship was so lonely and sad- I get major Queen Mary I vibes with how both George III and Henry VIII kept their daughters in marital limbo and deprived them of happiness in order to play political games.

as a Brazilian I've loved to watch this video! I would love to see a video about Dom Pedro I/Dom Pedro II and their family

The phobia of earthquakes is so intense here in Lisbon were I live that this morning I heard a loud sound from the building and then all the lights went down and I immediately thought an earthquake was coming, but it was just the technicians trying to solve a problem with a neighbor's doorbell.

I knew this week we would have another queen video

What a lot of people doesn’t seem to realize is that the marriage between queen Maria and dom Pedro was “necessary” for raison d’état. When Maria ascended the throne, her husband was expected to become King jure uxoris. Also, whoever was to become king would change the royal house from Bragança to another one (that of his birth). Also, if infante Pedro was to have issue with another consort his descendance could become a rival cader branch. So, to kill two birds with one stone Maria married her much older uncle in order to secure the royal house of Bragança’s hold to the throne. At the same time, this too secured the fact that the new king would know Portugal, speak Portuguese, know the politics about the place or be influentiable. As such, the big countries would leave Portugal alone so as not to fight over whoever would become kking jure uxoris.

So happy to see videos about portugal ^^

Its creepy how I was just yesterday researching this and it comes up today

Portugal has a rich and deep Royal history. Great video.

Yes I've been waiting for this one!

I am Portuguese, and i´ve been following Lindsay´s channel for about 2 years now. I´m very happy and very grateful to have seen a full video of a portuguese historical figure in this channel. I was very happy when the Stuart Consorts video came out because it was the first time that a portuguese historical figure was introduced in the channel (Catherine of Braganza). I have to thank Lindsay for representing Portugal for making a video about the very interesting Portuguese history and to try to pronunciate the portuguese words as best as she could /they we´re actually quite good). I´ve been writing in the comments of multiple videos for a video about someone portuguese thinking it would never exist. I´m so happy i´ve got to see one. Especially of a female monarch, often forgotten by the portuguese people and overshadowed by the male monarchs. Once again, thank you so much Lindsay. You made my day.

Hey, Lindsay!! Excellent video as usual, I just wanted to point out some minor inaccuracies: the woman you've shown as Teresa Maria of Távora and Lorena is actually Leonor Tomásia of Lorena and Távora, the 3rd Marchioness of Távora (I know, very similar names, specially when the first was known as "Marquesa Nova", which means Young Marchioness and the second "Marquesa Velha", meaning Elder Marchioness). Leonor and her husband, Francisco, were the Heads of the family and public enemies of Marchis of Pombal and allies of the jesuits, while their son, Luis Bernardo (nicknamed the Young Marchis) was married to Francisco's sister, Teresa Maria, the King's lover. The entire investigation of the attempted regicide was clearly biased as you've shown in the video, the confessions were taken under torture and were not given by the family itself. It was the maids and servants (that after, because of the guilt, committed suicide while in prison) who implicated the name of the Duke of Aveiro on the conspiracy to, in truth, kill a royal server, Pedro Teixeira. However, Pombal took this opportunity to blame the rest of the family, especially the Elders Marchis and Marchioness of Távora, Francisco and Leonor. All the evidence suggest that the Távoras did not have anything to do with the conspiracy and were blatantly submitted to humiliation throughout the ""trial"" due to political feud. Moreover, the Távora Family was not actually extinguished, they just weren't allowed to use that name anymore, for what they changed for Lorena, Queen Maria has rehabilitated the memory of the Noble House, pledging their innocence and acknowledging the unreability of the litigation. Many of its descendants have perfomed important roles not only in Portugal, but also in Brazil. I completely undestand this was not the focus of the video, so I took the liberty to include these complementary information here in the comments.That's all :)
