		The dynasty began with the acclamation of Philip II of Spain as Philip I of Portugal in 1580, officially recognized in 1581 in the Cortes of Tomar.
		The House of Braganza traced its origins to 1442 when the Duchy of Braganza was created by Alphonzo V and offered to his uncle Alphonzo, son of John I. The royal lineage of Dukes that followed intercrossed with the House of Aviz and became one of the most important noble families of the country.
		The House of Braganza continues unofficially until today, and the title of Duke of Braganza is still used by Duarte Pio, the 24th Duke of Bragança and the presumptive heir to the throne of Portugal.
