“I love how England (Britain) and Portugal have the world's oldest still in tact alliance (from the 1300s) and that in the 1800s, British Queen, Victoria and Portuguese Queen, Maria II were close friends. (as well as having extremely similar lives up until Maria's death)” - Submitted by Anonymous

Did You Know: The House of Bragança Edition #4

The husbands of D. Maria II of Portugal and Queen Victoria were cousins! And it looks like that wasn’t the only thing that D. Fernando and Prince Albert had in common. ¬‿¬

“In many ways the two cousins were very similar, from their tall and handsome physique and their undoubted prowess in the marriage bed to their meticulous care over the education of their children and their active patronage of the arts and sciences.” (p. 252, The Braganzas: The Rise and Fall of the Ruling Dynasties of Portugal and Brazil, 1640–1910, Malyn Newitt)

#oh I'm certainly going to hell for this one :')#if this actually makes it onto your feed #know that I lost my mind #Did You Know: The House of Bragança #Portuguese history #Portugal #no but in reality Maria II and Queen Victoria were very good friends #they had known each other since they were young girls #they often exchanged letters #and kept photos of each other #D. Maria sent Victoria a bracelet with the portrait of her firstborn Pedro #and Queen Victoria kept Maria's portrait in her closet #soulmate vibes #I'm just saying #maria ii of portugal #queen victoria #my entries

Tiaras at Ajuda Palace

Last summer the new Royal Treasury Museum within Ajuda National Palace in Lisbon was opened to display the Portuguese Crown Jewels. The new museum was built using insurance money from the 2002 theft of some of the jewels when they were on exhibition in the Netherlands and was part of a larger restoration project of the palace. Find out more about visiting here.

youtube

The museum features several tiaras and a lot of other jewelry like the emerald bow brooch below that I just had to include.

Queen Maria Pia's Diadem of Stars by Estêvão de Sousa, 1868 with later alterations

Queen Maria Pia's Laurel Wreath Tiara by Castellani, circa 1862 as a wedding gift from the city of Rome

Queen Maria Pia's Coral Tiara, circa 1862 as a wedding gift from the city of Naples

Queen Maria II's Sapphire Tiara, 1840s - This tiara is not part of the crown jewels and was sold at Christie's in 2021 for 1,948,558 USD but the new owner has loaned it to the museum.

Infanta Maria Ana's Emerald Bow Brooch, mid 1700s with later tassel addition

MEN THINK ABOUT ROMAN EMPIRE. WOMEN THINK ABOUT HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE

JUDITH OF BAVARIA (797-843) — Daughter of Count Welf I of Bavaria, Judith was a Carolingian Empress as the second wife of Louis I the Pious. Mother of Gisela and Charles the Bald, she foght for both her own influence at court and for the succession of her son over the claims of his elder half-brothers, the sons of Louis I from his first marriage. Charles became the Emperor in 875, after the death of Louis II, his nephew and a son of his half-brother Lothair / fancast: Annabel Scholey

MARIA OF AUSTRIA (1528-1603) — Daughter of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and Isabella of Portugal. She served as Regent of Spain both jointly with her husband, Maximilian (before their accession to the imperial throne), and in person, for her father, and brother, Philip II. Her children include two Holy Roman Emperors, Rudolf II and Matthias, over whom she held great influence, and queens consorts of Spain, and France / fancast: Olivia Cooke

EMPRESS MAUD (1102-1167) — Daughter of Henry I of England and Matilda of Scotland. Her first marriage to the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry V, gave her the title under which she came down into history, and was a source of great pride to Maud. Rightful heiress of Henry I, she confronted her cousin, King Stephen, in the civil war, known as the Anarchy, fighting ferociously for her rights. She failed in this for herself but won for her son Henry, who became king and established the Plantagenet dynasty in England / cast: Alison Pill in The Pillars of the Earth (2010)

MARIA THERESA (1717-1780) — She succeded her father Charles VI as the ruler of Habsburg monarchy in 1740, and devoutedly defended it against its enemies in the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Year's War. Wife of the Holy Roman Emperor, Francis I, she was a forceful personality and a competent ruler herself, reigning first in her own right, and later, jointly with her son Empreror Joseph II. Her children include two Holy Romam Emperors (Joseph II and Leopold II), queens consorts of Naples ans Sicily, and France / cast: Marie-Luise Stockinger in Maria Theresia (2017)
