The new King of Portugal, 1861. ...the young Duke of Oporto has been called to fill the throne of Portugal...Death, in the instances of both the late King and his Queen, knocking at the door of the palace under circumstances strangely like those about which we are accustomed to associate with his advent to the humblest cottages, in the twentieth year of his age the second son of Donna Maria finds himself suddenly called on to assert his hereditary right to rule over the ancient kingdom of Portugal. As usual in Spanish and Portuguese Royal and noble families, the new King was invested at his baptism with a long array of names. Dom Louis Philipe Maria Fernando Pedro dAlcantara Antonio Miguel Raphael Gabriel Gonzaga Xavier Francisco dAssise Jean Auguste Jules Volfando de Bragance Bourbon...was born on the 31st of October, 1838...It is understood that his Majesty possesses all the qualities, both of intellect and disposition, which belonged to his brother, the late Sovereign. The new King arrived in Lisbon on Saturday, and was saluted as Sovereign. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
