Editing List of Portuguese monarchs (section)

==House of Braganza (1640–1910)==
The '''[[House of Braganza]]''', also known as the '''Brigantine Dynasty''', came to power in 1640, when [[John IV of Portugal|John II, Duke of Braganza]], claimed to be the rightful heir of the defunct House of Aviz, as he was the great-great-grandson of King Manuel I. John was proclaimed King John IV, and he deposed the House of Habsburg in 1640 during the [[Portuguese Restoration War]]. The Habsburgs continued to claim the throne of Portugal until the end of the war in the [[Treaty of Lisbon (1668)]].

The descendants of Queen [[Maria II of Portugal|Maria II]] and her consort, King [[Ferdinand II of Portugal|Ferdinand II]] (a German prince of the [[House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]]), came to rule in 1853. Portuguese law and custom treated them as members of the House of Braganza, though they were still Saxe-Coburg and Gotha dynasts. This has led some to classify these last four monarchs of Portugal as members of a new royal family, called the '''[[House of Braganza-Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]]''', though this view is not widely held.

In fact, while king Carlos died instantly under the bullets of the anarchists on 1 February 1908, his son Luís Filipe, the crown prince, survived for at least twenty-five minutes, enough to allow governmental officials to name him king. This act is, however, usually considered as historically irrelevant, given that the crown prince never recovered from his coma. His younger brother Manuel (who was also injured, though not seriously) is therefore considered to have been the direct successor of the murdered King Carlos I.</ref><br />[[File:Coat of arms of the House of Braganza.svg|40px]]
