Dom Miguel I, known as the Absolute King, was one of the most controversial figures in Portuguese history. Son of King João VI and Queen Carlota Joaquina, he played a central role in the 19th-century political turmoil between absolutists and liberals.

Initially exiled for leading revolts against constitutional rule, Dom Miguel returned to Portugal in 1828 and proclaimed himself king, abolishing the liberal constitution and establishing an absolute monarchy. His reign was marked by repression and civil unrest, triggering the Liberal Wars — a brutal conflict between supporters of Miguel and those of his niece and rival, Dona Maria II.

After six years of war, Dom Miguel was defeated in 1834 and permanently exiled from Portugal, stripped of his titles and barred from returning. He spent the rest of his life in Central Europe, where he married and founded the Miguelist branch of the Braganza dynasty, which still exists today.

Though remembered by some as a defender of tradition and faith, his legacy remains deeply polarizing. Dom Miguel’s reign embodies a nation torn between past and progress, monarchy and modernity.
