Queens of Portugal
The True Story of the Women Who Ruled Portugal.
Discover who the women were that formed the foundation of our country. Learn about their loves and their disappointments. The marriages, the struggles for power, the intrigues and the curious stories of each era.
A Must-Read Book.
Learn about the more than thirty kings and the more than forty queens who ruled Portugal from the foundation of the monarchy to the establishment of the republic. Find out who the two reigning queens were and the nine who were regents or were entrusted with the government of the country during a certain period. Discover that not all consorts of the Portuguese heads of state were queens. Five were never crowned because they died before their husbands were exalted to the throne. Four married when their husbands had already ceased to be kings. Entangled in the midst of the political intrigue and the arranged marriages of their time, ten of them never set foot in Portugal. Two never consummated their marriages. One was repudiated. Another was crowned after death.
