Manuel II Of Portugal
Manuel II (English: Emmanuel II; 15 November 1889 – 2 July 1932) was the last King of Portugal, "the Patriot" (Portuguese: "o Patriota") or "the Wretched" (Portuguese: "o Desventurado"), ascending the throne after the assassination of his father, King Carlos I of Portugal, and his elder brother, Luís Filipe, Prince Royal of Portugal. Before ascending the throne he was Duke of Beja. His reign ended with the dissolution of the monarchy with the 5 October 1910 revolution, and Manuel lived the rest of his life in an exile enforced by the new Portuguese First Republic.

Famous quotes containing the word manuel:
“And Manuel embraced his mother and they laughed together: Délira’s laugh sounded surprisingly young; that was because she hadn’t really had the chance to make it heard; life was just not happy enough for that. No, she never had time to use it; she had kept it fresh as can be, like a birdsong in an old nest.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
