King See also:John VI. of Portugal, and of Carlota Joaquina, one of the See also:Spanish Bourbons; he was See also:born at See also:Lisbon on the 26th of See also:October 1802. In 1807 he accompanied his parents in their See also:flight to See also:Brazil, where he See also:grew up an uneducated and fanatical debauchee; in 1821, on his return to See also:Europe, it is said that he had not yet learned to read. In 1822 his See also:father swore fidelity to the new Portuguese constitution which had been proclaimed in his See also:absence; and this led Carlota Joaquina, who was an absolutist of the extremest See also:Bourbon type, and hated her See also:husband, to seek his dethronement in favour of Miguel her favourite son. The insurrections which ensued (see PORTUGAL) resulted in her imprisonment and the See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile of Miguel (1824), who spent a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time in See also:Paris and afterwards lived in See also:Vienna, where he came under the teaching of Metternich. On the sudden See also:death of John VI. in May 1826, Pedro of Brazil, his eldest son, renounced the See also:crown in favour of his daughter Maria da Gloria, on the understanding that she should become the wife of Miguel. The last named accordingly swore See also:allegiance to Pedro, to Maria, and to the constitution which Pedro had introduced, and on this footing was appointed See also:regent in See also:July 1827. He arrived in Lisbon in See also:February 1828, and, regardless of his promises, dissolved the new See also:Cortes in See also:March; having called together the old Cortes, with the support of the reactionary party of which his See also:mother was the ruling spirit, he got himself proclaimed See also:sole legitimate king of Portugal in July. His private See also:life was characterized by the wildest excesses, and he used his See also:power to oppose all forms of liberalism.
The public See also:opinion of Europe became more and more actively hostile to his reign, and after the occupation of See also:Oporto by Dom Pedro in 1832, the destruction of Miguel's See also:fleet by See also:Captain (afterwards See also:Sir See also:Charles) See also:Napier off Cape St See also:Vincent in 1833, and the victory of Saldanha at See also:Santarem in 1834, See also:Queen See also:Christina of See also:Spain recognized the legitimate See also:sovereignty of Maria, and in this was followed by See also:France and See also:England. Dom Miguel capitulated at See also:Evora on the 29th of May 1834, renouncing all pretensions to the Portuguese throne. He lived for some time at See also:Rome, where he enjoyed papal recognition, but after-wards retired to Bronnbach, in See also:Baden, where he died on the
14th of See also:November 1866.
