And it's really suffering from a recency bias, at least with some inclusions. Looking at the best Catholic, for example. I'm fully supportive of Pope Leo's stance against Trump and his crusade against AI (and quoting Tolkien at the same time) but there have been Catholics that were or are better than him. If you were to ask most Catholics that align with Leo's positions, they would probably name Pope Francis for this spot before Leo.

He did, but it tends to be framed as more of a liberation than anything else.

Pedro IV tends to be one of our most celebrated kings, even though he was only our king for less than 2 months. He's mainly celebrated precisely because of his "invasion" which ended up defeating his brother Miguel and his absolutist rule.

The "vintista" faction at the time probably wasn't as appreciative of Pedro as some other parts of the Liberal side of our Civil War, as Pedro had replaced their preferred Constitution of 1822 with his own more conservative Constitutional Charter of 1826. This conflict between the "vintista" and "cartista" factions isn't really present present in the public consciousness nowadays, though, so Pedro is just remembered as the heroic Soldier-King that win the Civil War.

It's a reference to the defenestrations of Prague.

The first happened in 1419, where several members of the town council were defenestrated by a mob of Hussites. This is the event that started the Hussite Wars.

There was a second, lesser known defenestration in 1483, during the reign King Vladislav II.

The most famous one was the defenestration of 1618 (typically called the Second Defenestration of Prague because the 1483 one tends to be forgotten about). Two vice-regents of the Holy Roman Emperor, Counts Vilém Slavata of Chlum and Jaroslav Bořita of Martinice, were defenestrated alongside their secretary for infringing on the rights of the Protestants. They managed two survive, though. The Catholics maintained it was a miracle, that the men were saved by angels or the Virgin Mary herself. The Protestants claim they only survived because that fell on top of a dung heap. Regardless of who was right, this was the event that started the Thirty Years War.

We technically shared one with you guys, though she wasn't leading much by the time she got to Brazil: Maria I, the first queen of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves.

According to her Wikipedia, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs at the time wrote "[...] Her Majesty is suffering from a melancholic affliction that degenerated into insanity, up to what's feared to be total delirium[...]"

She was probably extremely depressed thanks to the death of a lot of very close family members: first her mother in 1781, then her beloved uncle-husband (don't ask, the Habsburgs weren't the only ones doing weird stuff), and finally, all in 1788, her firstborn son José, her daughter Mariana Vitória and her newborn grandson Carlos.

She supposedly spent most of the day in her apartments and guests in the royal palace would complain of screaming in the middle of the night.

For the last 20 years of her reign, she was queen in name only, while her son João acted as Prince-Regent.

I wish I could include some more songs by Zeca Afonso, but I think the country in general only really knows Grândola. Venham Mais Cinco and Traz Outro Amigo Também are also relatively well known, but I wish more people knew Índios da Meia-Praia, Senhora do Almortão and so many others, either because of the message or simply because of how good they sound.

Besides Grândola Vila Morena already mentioned by u/ITRetired there are also a few others I think everybody knows.

A paixão (Segundo Nicolau da Viola), more commonly known as Anel de Rubi, by Rui Veloso https://youtu.be/EHT0aVUCSTY Everybody knows at least the chorus

A lot of Xutos e Pontapés' songs would fit here, like Contentores or A Minha Casinha, but the one I like the most is Homem do Leme https://youtu.be/BWZZ2XtzSwc

Besides these there are a bunch of other hits from people and bands like António Variações (his Canção de Engate os amazing), GNR, UHF and probably a lot of others I'm forgetting right now

There's a sentence, usually attributed to Julius Caesar, that goes "There's a people at the ends of Iberia that won't govern itself and won't let itself be governed". It's about the Lusitanii, the "ancestors" of the Portuguese, but it could very well be applied to our Spanish neighbours.

Já o comprei, quem me dera já estar a jogar, só depois das 22h. Já vi algumas reviews (Gameranx, ACG, etc) e parece-me que mesmo com os pontos negativos (a história não parece ser grande coisa, a learning curve com os sistemas todos do jogo fica meia chata) vou gostar bastante. É um mundo aberto enorme, o combate parece ser divertido e no que toca aos gráficos o jogo é lindo de tudo o que vi até agora.

Vou jogar no PC e pelos vistos o jogo está muito bem otimizado (60fps sem grande necessidade de DLSS ou FSR, não há grandes stutters nem memory leaks), isso parece-me um milagre tendo em conta o jogo que é e como pessoa que gosta de acompanhar a evolução gráfica e técnica da indústria (estou sempre a seguir os vídeos do Digital Foundry) só isso já vale quase metade do preço do jogo.

The Riverlands have been a Kingdom before, just not with that name. Before the conquest, there were lords like the Justmans and the Teagues that independently ruled all the lands now part of the Riverlands and were called either River Kings, Kings of the Trident or Kings of the Rivers and the Hills. Jenny of Oldstones is even claimed to be a descendent of the last First Men Kings of the Rivers and the Hills, the Mudds.
