Biography

Henrique of Braganza was born on 6 November 1949, in Bern, Switzerland, to Duarte Nuno, Duke of Braganza, pretender to the defunct throne of Portugal, and Maria Francisca of Orléans-Braganza. His full name ended with Miguel Gabriel Rafael, a naming tradition of the House of Braganza that honors the three archangels in the Catholic Church.

In 1950, the Portuguese Laws of Banishment were repealed and Henrique's family was permitted to return to Portugal, which he did along with his parents and elder brothers in 1952.[1]

Death

Henrique of Braganza died on 14th of February 2017, aged 67, in Ferragudo, Portugal.[2][3] The funeral wake happened at São Vicente de Fora church.[4][5][6]
