 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Azores
Their distribution may be considered as forming three subgroups: the relatively large islands of São Miguel and Santa Maria, to the extreme south-east; Fayal, Pico, São Jorge, Terceira, and Graciosa about midway, Terceira being about 880 geographical (1012 English) miles from the Portuguese coast; Flores and Corvo on the extreme north-west.
The first Portuguese colonies of any importance in the Azores were those of São Miguel, and Terceira, and at the end of the fifteenth century a certain number of the Moors, driven from Granada by Ferdinand and Isabella, took refuge in the islands.
Material prosperity began to be restored to the Azores immediately after the period of the French invasion of the Peninsula and the flight of João IV to Brazil (1807), when the former restrictions of commerce were removed.

 Pedro I of Brazil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dom Pedro I assumed the title of Emperor instead of King, both to underline the diversity of the Brazilian provinces and to emulate Napoleon, who linked the idea of Empire — as opposed to that of Kingdom — to the French Revolution and modernity.

Since she was then only 7 years old, he nominated his brother Dom Miguel as steward, on the promise that he would marry her.

Bringing this simmering conflict to a head is the imminent retirement of Dom Miguel Alagna, 75, the autocratic bishop who for the past 20 years has reigned over the Arizona-size diocese from his unpretentious whitewashed brick residence in Sao Gabriel.
Though the Salesians deny it, critics say Dom Miguel meddled in tribal politics to advance pro-mission Indians, threatened excommunication for those who disobeyed and even controlled access to the military planes that until lately provided the only transportation in and out of the area.
A fervent anti-Communist and admirer of the military, Dom Miguel belongs to the minority of Brazil's bishops who oppose left-wing liberation theology, which follows Marxist-style analysis of social oppression.

The late D. Maria Pia de Saxe-Coburg-Bragança (a name she assumed in adulthood) claimed to be the illegitimate daughter of King Carlos II of Portugal, and that she was de jure heiress to that throne.
In making this claim, she and her supporters claimed that the line of Dom Miguel, represented today by H.R.H. Dom Duarte de Bragança, Duke of Bragança, is permanently excluded from the Portuguese succession.
This could no more deprive the Dom Miguel line of any royal rights than the present Constitution of Spain deprives those members of the Spanish Royal Family, who were dynasts under the Constitution of 1876, of their historic dynastic rights.
