Independence Day of Portugal
The title of Duke of Bragança is one of the most important of the Portuguese Royal Family. Since the ascension to the throne of the dynasty of Braganza, in 1640, the heir to the Portuguese Crown USA the title of Duke of Braganza, a tradition that prevailed even after the establishment of the Republic on 5 October 1910. By tradition and the importance of home, the Dukes of Bragança have their names numbered as kings.
