Treaty of Lisbon

Treaty of Lisbon

The fundamental terms of the treaty were:

-The Spanish Habsburgs finally recognized the legitimacy of the Braganza dynasty in Portugal. Infanta Catarina, Duchess of Braganza (1540–1614), former Duchess of Braganza and grandmother of João IV of Portugal, was retrospectively acknowledged as a legitimate heir to the throne.

-Portuguese sovereignty over its colonial possessions was reconfirmed, except for the African exclave of Ceuta, who did not recognize the House of Braganza as the new ruling dynasty.

-Spain ceded Luzon to Portugal in exchange for its rights to the Spice Islands.[1]

-The British and the Spanish would recognize Celebes as a Portuguese territory, not a Dutch colony.[2]

-Agreements on the exchange of prisoners, reparations, and the restoration of commercial relations were reached.

-Portugal ceded the African city of Ceuta to Spain. Seven years earlier, the nearby city of Tangiers had been awarded to Charles II of England as part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza; this was stipulated in the Treaty of Lisbon of 1661.

1. The Spanish were humiliated by the Malong-Almazan revolt despite the fact that they were leaderless for a while and despite the fact that they reinforced it with forces from Ternate and the fact that the Spanish blocked any news about it.
2. This would break the Anglo-Dutch alliance due to Celebes being recognized by the British as a Portuguese colony as it would mean that the British would help the Portuguese regain it.

Maria Francisca of Savoy

Months after her annulment, Maria Francisca married the Infante Peter, now the Prince Regent of Portugal. In 1669 she gave birth to a daughter, Isabel Luísa Josefa of Portugal, Princess of Beira. The Braganza dynasty was at the brink of extinction, and Peter needed heirs, yet Maria Francisca was unable to produce further issue.

On 1676, Infante Peter of Portugal would be forced to annul his marriage with Maria Francisca of Savoy and send her to a nunnery and contract a marriage with Marie Louise of Orleans to prevent the extinction of the Braganza as soon as possible.

Marie Louise of Orleans

On 1676, a marriage between Infante Peter of Portugal and Marie Louise of Orleans, she would be pleased by this new marriage, however, her role as queen would be demanding as she would have to produce heirs soon and there would only be four that would survive and brought into term that would even survive adulthood, Infanta Maria (June 4, 1679), Infante Felipe (May 10, 1683), Infanta Luisa (December 2, 1686) and Infante Gaston (December 2, 1689).

Anne Stuart

Anne Stuart

Anne was born in the reign of Charles II of England to his younger brother and heir presumptive, James, whose suspected Roman Catholicism was unpopular in England. On Charles's instructions Anne and her elder sister, Mary, were raised as Anglicans. Mary married their Dutch Protestant cousin, William III of Orange, in 1677, and Anne married Charles II of Spain in 1683.

Her marriage was dominated by the political struggle between French and Austrian factions over the Spanish throne, which resulted in the 1701 to 1714 War of the Spanish Succession. When Charles died in 1700, he was succeeded by the French candidate, Philip V and Anne returned to Great Britain. She lived largely forgotten until her death in 1720, she was passed over in the succession in favor of the Hanoverians due to her marriage with Charles II of Spain.

The Glorious Revolution

The Glorious Revolution

The Glorious Revolution, or Revolution of 1688 (Irish: An Réabhlóid Ghlórmhar, Scottish Gaelic: Rèabhlaid Ghlòrmhor or Welsh: Chwyldro Gogoneddus), was the November 1688 deposition and subsequent replacement of James II and VII as ruler of England, Scotland and Ireland by his daughter Mary II and his Dutch nephew and Mary's husband, William III of Orange. The outcome of events in all three kingdoms and Europe, the Revolution was quick and relatively bloodless, though establishing the new regime took much longer and led to significant casualties. The term was first used by John Hampden in late 1689.

Despite his Catholicism, James became king in February 1685 with widespread support because many feared excluding him would lead to a repetition of the 1638–1651 Wars of the Three Kingdoms. His religion was seen as a short-term issue because his Protestant daughter Mary was heir presumptive, he was 52 and his second marriage remained childless after 11 years. The birth of his son, James Francis Edward, on 10 June 1688 changed this by the male-preference, automatic change of that heir presumptive, thus raising the prospect of a Catholic dynasty.

James suspended the Scottish and English Parliaments when they refused to repeal the anti-Catholic Test Acts and efforts to rule without them caused the instability his supporters wanted to avoid.[4] His primary support base in England were Tory members of the Church of England, who remained loyal until actions like the prosecution of seven Anglican bishops seemed to go beyond tolerance and into an assault on the church. News that their prosecution had gone to full trial (albeit they were acquitted) on 30 June 1688 led to widespread anti-Catholic riots throughout England and Scotland and destroyed James' political authority.

As stadtholder of Holland, William was de facto ruler of the Dutch Republic; the coalition he built after 1678 to defend it against French expansion was threatened by an Anglo-French alliance. With political support from allies in England, Scotland and Europe, a fleet of 463 ships landed William and 14,000 men in Torbay on 5 November. As he advanced on London, desertions reduced the 30,000 strong Royal Army to 4,000; James ordered these remnants disbanded and went into exile in December. A Convention Parliament met in April 1689, making William and Mary joint monarchs of England; a separate but similar Scottish settlement was made in June.

The Revolution was followed by pro-Stuart revolts in Scotland and Ireland, while Jacobitism persisted into the late 18th century. However, it ended a century of political dispute by confirming the primacy of Parliament over the Crown, a principle established in the Bill of Rights 1689.

However, the relations of Portugal and Britain would be ruined until the Hanoverians have replaced Mary and William III as they are the rulers of the Netherlands which encroached the Portuguese territories which caused the Portuguese to shift to the French instead.
