Everything about Lu S Filipe Prince Royal Of Portugal totally explained
Infante Luís Filipe,
Prince Royal of Portugal and
Duke of Braganza KG (;
Luís Filipe Maria Carlos Amélio Francisco Vítor Manuel António Lourenço Miguel Rafael Gabriel Gonzaga Xavier Francisco de Assis Bento of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Braganza;
March 21,
1887 –
February 1,
1908) was the eldest son of King
Carlos I of Portugal and the 21st
Duke of Braganza.
Luís Filipe was born in
Lisbon, the elder son of
Carlos,
Duke of Braganza (later King Carlos I of Portugal) and of his wife Princess
Amélie of Orléans. Luís Filipe was granted the titles of
Prince of Beira and
Duke of Barcelos, traditionally held by the heir apparent of the Prince Royal (
Príncipe Real) and Duke of Braganza – the heir apparent to the Portuguese throne.
Two years later, Luís Filipe's father ascended the throne, and Luís Filipe became Prince Royal and the 21st Duke of Braganza, as the heir apparent of the King. In English, he's sometimes, but inaccurately, called
Crown Prince of Portugal.
In 1907 Luís Filipe acted as regent while his father was outside the country. The same year Luís Filipe made a visit to the Portuguese colonies in Africa.
On
February 1,
1908 Luís Filipe and his family were returning to Lisbon from their country estate at
Vila Viçosa. Alfredo Costa and Manuel Buiça, two members a revolutionary society called the
Carbonária, shot at the family, hitting Luís Filipe, his father Carlos I, and his younger brother
Infante Manuel, Duke of Beja. Carlos I died immediately, while Luís Filipe lived for another twenty minutes. Manuel survived the attack, having only been shot in the arm, while his mother Amelia was unharmed. Manuel would succeed Carlos as Manuel II.
Although he survived his father for twenty minutes, Luís Filipe couldn't be considered as having been King because the Portuguese monarchy lacked the rule of automatic succession. He is buried next to his father in the Dynasty of Braganza Royal Pantheon,
Monastery of São Vicente de Fora,
Lisbon. His younger brother and mother are buried opposite. On
October 5,
1910, the monarchy under the rule of his surviving younger brother, Manuel II, was overthrown in a military coup and a republic was established.
