1855 Braganza Fernando Inaugurated Initiating Lisbon Maria Pedro Portugal Rule
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic image captures the moment of Pedro V's inauguration as the King of Portugal on September 1, 1855, at the Praça do Comércio in Lisbon. Pedro, the eldest son of Queen Maria II and her consort, King Fernando II, ascended to the throne following his father's abdication. The House of Braganza, which had ruled Portugal since 1640, was once again in the hands of its rightful heir. The grand ceremony was held in the presence of the Portuguese nobility, foreign diplomats, and a large crowd of citizens. Pedro, dressed in the royal robes and wearing the Crown of Portugal, took the oath to uphold the constitution and govern justly. The inauguration marked the beginning of a new era in Portuguese history, one that would be marked by political stability and economic progress. The House of Braganza had faced numerous challenges in the past, including the Liberal Wars and the Carlist Wars, which had threatened the monarchy's hold on power. Pedro's accession to the throne brought renewed hope and optimism to the Portuguese people. The young king, who was only 16 years old at the time of his inauguration, was determined to lead his country towards a brighter future. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Portugal. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when tradition and modernity intersected, and when the future of a nation was shaped by the actions of its leaders. The image is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the House of Braganza and the important role it played in Portuguese history.
