Braganza Dynasty

Japanese: ブラガンサ朝 - ぶらがんさちょう
Braganza Dynasty

The fourth dynasty of Portugal (1640-1910) and the Imperial House of Brazil (1822-89). The House of Bragança was born in 1401 from the marriage of Dom Afonso, the illegitimate son of King João I (reigned 1385-1433), and the daughter of Nuno Pereira, the commander-in-chief of the royal army, and was one of the most powerful noble families in Portugal from the beginning. Although it was temporarily suppressed by João II (reigned 1481-95), under the rule of the Spanish dynasty of Philip, it boasted the greatest power in Portugal, based in Vila Viçosa in the south. When Portugal regained its independence from Spain in 1640, Dom João, Duke of Bragança, was proclaimed king and founded the Bragança dynasty as João IV (reigned 1640-56). It continued for 270 years until the establishment of a republic in 1910 and the dethronement of King Manuel II (reigned 1908-10). During that time, the royal family fled into exile in Brazil in 1807 due to the invasion of Napoleon's army. In the revolution of 1820, King João VI (reigned 1816-26) returned to Brazil, but his son Dom Pedro, who remained behind, declared Brazilian independence and ascended to the throne as Emperor Pedro I (reigned 1822-31). The House of Braganza in Brazil continued for 67 years, until Pedro II (reigned 1831-89) was dethroned in the Republican Revolution of 1889.

ポルトガルの第四王朝(1640~1910)およびブラジル皇帝家(1822~89)。ブラガンサBragança公爵家は、1401年国王ジョアン1世(在位1385~1433)の庶子ドン・アフォンソと王国軍総司令官ヌノ・ペレイラの娘との結婚によって生まれ、当初からポルトガル有数の大貴族であった。ジョアン2世(在位1481~95)によって一時弾圧されたが、スペインのフェリペ王朝支配下には、南部のビラ・ビソーザを拠点にポルトガル最大の勢力を誇っていた。1640年、ポルトガルがスペインから再独立するに際して、ブラガンサ公ドン・ジョアンは国王に推戴(すいたい)され、ジョアン4世(在位1640~56)としてブラガンサ王朝を開いた。以後、1910年共和制が成立し、マヌエル2世(在位1908~10)が廃位されるまで、270年続いた。その間、1807年にはナポレオン軍の侵入により、王室がブラジルに亡命した。1820年の革命で、国王ジョアン6世(在位1816~26)は帰国したが、残った息子のドン・ペドロはブラジルの独立を宣言して、ブラジル皇帝ペドロ1世Pedro Ⅰ(在位1822~31)として即位した。ペドロ2世(在位1831~89)が1889年の共和革命で廃位されるまで、ブラジルのブラガンサ家は67年間続いた。
