Dona Ana de Jesus Maria de Bragança, Marquesa de Loulé.

Infanta Ana de Jesus Maria of Portugal (or of Braganza and Borbón; pron. IPA: ['ɐnɐ dɨ ʒɨ'zuʃ mɐ'ɾiɐ]; English: Anne of Jesus Mary of Braganza; full name: Ana de Jesus Maria Luís Gonzaga Joaquina Micaela Rafaela Francisca Xavier de Paula de Bragança; Mafra, October 23, 1806 – Rome, June 22, 1857) was a Portuguese infanta and last daughter of King John VI of Portugal and his wife Carlota Joaquina of Borbón.

On December 5, 1827, she married Nuno José Severo de Mendonça Rolim de Moura Barreto, then Marquis of Loulé and Count of Vale de Reis (future Duke of Loulé, many times Prime Minister of Portugal). The wedding was celebrated in a private ceremony in the chapel of the Royal Ajuda Palace and was a scandal at the time. Although Loulé was a descendant of the Royal Family, Ana de Jesus was the first princess of Portugal since the Middle Ages to marry outside royalty. The reasons for this marriage were probably not political, considering the couple's first child was born in December 27, 1827, 22 days after the ceremony. With the restoration of absolutism in Portugal the couple was exiled and began an extended trip through Europe and had several other children. The marriage ended with a de facto separation in 1835. This marrigage was never authorized by King John VI. After his death the authorization for the Infanta to marry should have been granted by the Parliament, and was not granted. Therefore the Infanta lost all her rights to the thone.
