Maria I, Queen (New Hebrides (Portugal)) : All Data

Maria I was the Queen of the Kingdom of Portugal from 1777 until her death in 1816. During her reign, Portugal was involved in several significant conflicts, including the French Revolutionary Wars and the Peninsular War. The French Revolutionary Wars lasted from 1792 to 1802, and the Peninsular War took place from 1807 to 1814. These wars greatly impacted Portugal, as it faced invasions and occupations by French forces, leading to the eventual transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil. Despite the challenges, Maria I's rule was marked by her efforts to maintain Portuguese independence and protect her subjects during these tumultuous times.
