OK, this thread is my first try with this POD.

The POD is that in July 1821 shortly after return from Brazil, prince Miguel of Portugal falls from his horse and breaks his neck. So absolutists in Portugal ( big part of clergy and nobility under leadership of the Queen ) now have no natural representative in their fight against liberalism. Also, since Miguel was the favourite child of the Queen, this might prompt her death or withdrawing from public life...
Older son, Pedro, was at the time in Brazil, as regent.

So, what will happen?
