	Marquis de Pombal
		Pombal then retired to a country estate near Soure, and in his thirty-ninth year received his first public appointment, being sent as minister to London in 1738.
		As soon as he was sure of success, Pombal made peace with Rome and in June, 1770, admitted a nuncio, but the ecclesiastical system of Portugal remained henceforth a sort of disguised Anglicanism, and many of the evils from which the Church now suffers are a legacy from him.
		Even to the end Pombal had many admirers among the clergy, and he is regarded by the Portuguese as one of their greatest statesmen and called the great Marquis.

	Sebastião de Melo, Marquis of Pombal Summary
		Upon his return to Lisbon in 1749, Pombal was named junior minister in the government of King John V. Not long after Pombal's appointment, John V died and was succeeded by his son, the indolent and pleasure-seeking Joseph I (reigned 1750-1777).
		Pombal quickly consolidated his position within the government, and by the end of 1755, after his energetic handling of the great crisis produced by the Lisbon earthquake, he was virtual dictator of Portugal, taking complete control of the machinery of government.
		In March 1777 Pombal was dismissed, and a new ministry was chosen from the nobility.

	PORTUGAL - DICIONÁRIO HISTÓRICO: 1.º marquês de Pombal
		A construção de navios fortaleceu a nossa marinha; o comércio e a agricultura também foram favorecidos pelo marquês de Pombal, ainda que, na protecção que lhes deu, se encontra o vestígio das suas erradas ideias económicas.
		Apesar disso, o marquês de Pombal, entendendo que estava empenhada nesta questão a dignidade da coroa portuguesa, não hesitou em se preparar para a guerra; não cuidava decerto que poderia afrontar a França e a Espanha com os nossos limitados recursos, mas entendia também que, logo que o dever falava, a questão da possibilidade desaparecia.
		Para isso enviou a Pombal dois desembargadores que sujeitaram o marquês a um longo e penoso interrogatório, até que o grande homem, prostrado pela doença, pela fadiga e pelas amarguras, pedia perdão à rainha das faltas que podia ter cometido.
