Infante Peter Charles was a son of Infante Gabriel of Spain and Infanta Mariana Vitória of Portugal. His paternal grandfather was King Charles III of Spain and his maternal grandfather was King Peter III of Portugal. Peter Charles was the only surviving child of the couple and an orphan at the age of two.
His father was very intelligent and the favorite son of King Charles III, but he and his wife died in 1788 of Smallpox. When King Charles III died the same year, his successor Charles IV of Spain preferred to send the child away to Portugal. Peter Charles was raised there by his grandmother Maria I of Portugal. From this moment the little prince also became infante of Portugal.
Peter Charles had inherited a large fortune of his father and was welcomed in Portugal. In 1792, his grandmother was officially declared insane and her son John, uncle of Peter Charles, became Regent of Portugal.
When in 1807 the Portuguese royal family had to abandon Portugal because of the Franco-Spanish invasion led by Napoleon Bonaparte, Peter Charles left on November 29 on board the "Príncipe Real" with his grandmother and uncles for Brazil.
They arrived in Salvador de Bahía on January 2, 1808, and headed from there to Río de Janeiro, where the infante occupied the São Cristovão Palace.
In Brazil Peter Charles was engaged to his cousin Teresa, Princess of Beira, daughter of Charlotte of Spain and John VI of Portugal, and they married on May 13, 1810 in Rio de Janeiro.
The couple was very happy during their two years of marriage, after which Peter Charles became ill and died in Boa Vista on July 4, 1812.
The couple had one child :
