Brazilian imperial family

The Brazilian imperial family ruled the Empire of Brazil between 1822 and 1889, from the Independence of Brazil, who was later acclaimed emperor as Pedro I of Brazil, until the deposition of Pedro II during the Proclamation of the Republic, in 1889.

The Orléans and Bragança family, maternally descended from the Brazilian branch of the House of Bragança and paternally from the French house of Orléans, is considered by monarchists to be the current Brazilian imperial family.[1]
