Portugal To-do:

The Guinness Book of Records claims that Carlos died before Crown Prince Luis, and thus Luis succeeded to the throne as King Luis II, albeit for only 20 minutes before he too died. This got him into Guinness as the monarch with the world's shortest reign. Thus, Carlos was succeeded by Luis II, and Luis II was then succeeded by his younger brother Manuel II, all within the space of 20 minutes. Cheers JackofOz 09:54, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- this does not aply (as i discussed with Jack) because in Portugal the concept of Crown Prince was never applied. Not even the kings were crowned. It might sound strange, but from 1640 to 1910, the queen of Portugal was the Virgin Mary, being the kings her mere representatives. There is not a single book of Portuguese History that refers to Luis II. The Guiness Book reference is at least questionable, not to say silly. Muriel G 20:42, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Since King Carlos's eldest son Luis isn't listed as King Luis II, this must mean that in Portugal (when a monarchy), the idea that the King is dead, long live the King didn't apply (same as in Belgium). Mightberight/wrong, 17:20, 3 November 2005
[edit] Sprot
Because of this silly anon revert war, I've sprotected the article. FWIW it seems to me that the link should go to the non-redirect page William M. Connolley 19:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

- If the real name of this woman was Maria Pia of Saxe Coburg Braganza, why you continue to use here her pseudonym name she used as writer? Justiceiro 17:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
