		Under the regency of Maria's son (later John VI ; 1816-26) Portugal's alliance with Britain led to difficulties with France; in 1807 the forces of Napoleon I marched on Portugal.
		After John's death (1826) Pedro also became king of Portugal but abdicated in favor of his daughter, Maria II (reigned 1826-53), on condition that she accept a new charter limiting royal authority and marry Dom Miguel.
		Although her reign was marred by coups and dictatorship, the activities of moderates and liberals laid a groundwork for the reforms—penal laws, a civil code (1867), and commercial regulations—of the reigns of Peter V (1853-61; begun under the regency of Maria's husband Ferdinand II) and of Louis I (1861-89).

	Books on Portugal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Portugal by Yves Bottineau, with 168 photographs by Yan, translated from the French, 1957.
		This book fits an unsung genre out of the proliferation of Portugal books of the l950’s, flecked with Moorish women, a coquettish glance, photographs that endure for their limpid backgrounds, women peeping out of doorways; and, perhaps best, a fabulous 28-page summation of the intricate Portuguese history.
		The chapter on the British “Factory” and the treatment on port wine is also a good angulation on the parasitic British-Portuguese alliance, which explains the moony dynamics of Portugal’s synergy, and the breakage of her history into a series of unbelievable episode and butterfly metaphors that backfire.

		This study should be considered a first thorough balance of the Late Bronze Age in the Beira Interior region of central Portugal, which it is hoped will be as precise and complete as possible.
		One of the regular factors observed occurs with regard to topographic position of the settlements in that all of them are characterized by a difficult means of acess.
		The scarcity of weapons or their symbolic representation, the absence of defensive walls and the growth of exchange, as well as the apparent lack of critical situations concerning basic resources in the Beira Interior, transmits the idea that the times were peaceful.
