unusual facts about Teodósio II, Duke of Braganza



Braganza

Duke of Braganza, a Portuguese title that has been used for example by several heirs-apparent to the Portuguese throne

Duke of Braganza

Since the House of Braganza acceded to the throne of Portugal in 1640, the male heir of the Portuguese Crown was known as the Duke of Braganza and Prince of Brazil until 1822, or sometimes also as Prince of Beira.

Duke of Braganza became the traditional title of the heir to the Portuguese throne, together with or alternate to Prince of Beira, much as Prince of Wales is in the United Kingdom.

João I, Duke of Braganza

When King Philip left to Spain, he endowed the post of Constable of Kingdom to João's heir Teodósio, 7th Duke of Braganza, a marquessate (Flexilla-Xarandilla) to his second son, Dom Duarte, and a commendment and many concessions to the third, Dom Alexandre, who was destined to become an ecclesiastic.
