Dom João VI
Dom João VI was the King of Portugal from 1816 until his death in 1826 and served as the Prince Regent of Brazil from 1808 to 1821. He played a crucial role in the transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil during the Napoleonic Wars, which significantly impacted Brazilian history and its eventual path to independence. His reign is notable for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in Portugal and the eventual return to Portugal after Brazil declared independence.
