Portuguese Monarchs

The Kings, Queens and Pretenders of the Kingdom of Portugal from King Afonso I to Dom Duarte, Duke of Braganza. The Kingdom of Portugal existed from 1139 under King Afonso I until 1910 when a revolution overthrew King Manuel II. There was also a period during which Portugal was united with the Kingdom of Spain. It is worth remembering that Portugal was the first country to have an overseas empire and the last to see their's fall.

They protect tradition and peoples rigths during medievla and modern times with example of forais very different to English Norman Feudalism people actualy had rigths the Nobiliy and Aristocracy wasnt so stritct to corrupt elites but instead had effcient and brave folk the elites actualy could shift in case of natioanl emergency such in late 1300s and better men would rise to the job many of wich had comoner origins where I see this happen ever in British Monarchy?
