		In 1466 Afonso V of Portugal granted to the Duchess Isabel of Burgundy, his aunt, some sort of feudal privilege in the Azores, in consequence of which the colonists for some time were mostly Flemings, and the Portuguese themselves in those days called the islands As Ilhas Flamengas (the Flemish Islands).
		Material prosperity began to be restored to the Azores immediately after the period of the French invasion of the Península and the flight of João IV to Brazil (1807), when the former restrictions of commerce were removed.
		The Azores are not a colony, nor a foreign dependency of Portugal, but an autonomous region with its own Regional President who resides in Angra, which is regarded as the political capital; at the same time the inhabitants are on a legislative and fiscal equality with those of the Portuguese mainland.
