	Duke of Braganza - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Along with the duchies of Coimbra and Viseu created by João I for his sons Dom Pedro and Dom Henrique after their capture of Ceuta from the Moors in 1415, it is one of the first duchies of Portugal.
		After the accession of the Braganças to the throne, the duchy was linked to the Crown and the Duke of Bragança became the traditional title of the heir to the Crown, together with or alternate to Prince of Beira, as Prince of Wales is in the United Kingdom.
		The Duke of Bragança is sometimes described as the living representative of the country's history, with the birth of his children, the next generation of Portugal's ex-royals, becoming a focus of national celebration.
