Yet life for her was not so merry - she put up with the king's many mistresses and continuous plots to remove her from the throne. She lived through times of war, plague and fire. Catherine's marriage saw many trials and tribulations including her inability to produce an heir. Yet Charles supported his queen throughout the Restoration, remaining devoted to her no matter what. Outliving her husband, she ended up back in her home country and spent her final days as queen-regent of Portugal.
Download or read book The Braganzas written by Malyn Newitt and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For two hundred and seventy years, the House of Braganza provided the kings and queens of Portugal. During a period of momentous change, from 1640 to 1910, this influential family helped to establish Portuguese independence from their powerful Spanish neighbors and saved the monarchy and government from total destruction by the marauding armies of Napoleon. The Braganzas also ruled the vast empire of Brazil from 1822 to 1889, successfully creating a unified nation and preventing the country from splitting into small warring states. In his fascinating reappraisal of the Braganza dynasty, Malyn Newitt traces the rise and fall of one of the world’s most important royal families. He introduces us to a colorful cast of innovators, revolutionaries, villains, heroes, and charlatans, from the absolutist Dom Miguel to the “Soldier King” Dom Pedro I, and recounts in vivid detail the major social, economic, and political events that defined their rule. Featuring an extensive selection of artworks and photographs, Newitt’s book offers a timely look at Britain’s “oldest ally” and the role of monarchy in the early modern European world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three south Goa villages were the last bastion of resistance to the Portuguese conversion drive during their colonial rule in Goa. By the final decade of their rule, the same villages became a stronghold of the converts' descendants, many of whom were families of seafarers. As fathers went to sea, the children were left under mother's supervision. Two boys meet at a village school and turn into unlikely mates by fate. 15-year old Bruno, a studious disciplined kid is stirred by empathy for 17-year old Caetano, a boisterous restless soul who longs to have a friend that he feels he never had. Bruno accepts Caetano's friendship with a commitment: to help him out with his studies and wean him off an alcohol addiction that Bruno suspects. But the wayward Caetano drags a naive Bruno into messy encounters of his freedom-fighter uncle Stalin. Getting wind of it, Bruno's father packs off his son to a far-off Belgaum school leaving his doting mother heartbroken. Two years on, in the wake of a consular, trade and travel blockade of Goa, the besieged enclave is put to extreme hardship. Passing his matric, Bruno comes home to sail to Africa while Caetano has dropped out of school and plans to join the ship. As their paths cross again, a freak incident put their plans on hold. The boys head for the foothills in search of a quick getaway - the illegal forest route. A tale of errant boys, a mother's bond and, whispers in the wind from the shadowy past.
