#Princess of Beira

[flordemurta]

Isabel Luísa was born on the 6 January 1669 in Lisbon, the first and only daughter of king Peter II of Portugal and Maria Francisca of Savoy. Her mother passed away on the 27 of December 1683, and Pedro later remarried by proxy on the 2 of July 1687.

Her birth occurred during a particularly turbulent period for Portugal: the kingdom was still reeling from the misrule of Afonso VI (who had reigned since the 6 of November 1656) and the persistent grievances of his wife, Maria Francisca (whom he had married in 1666), regarding his "sexual incapacity". Of the 55 witnesses gathered on the matter, two primary explanations emerged: first, a childhood riding accident that had left Afonso in poor health; and second, allgeations of his intimate inclinations towards certain male companions.

These events set in motion a prolonged scheme to depose Afonso and thransfer the throne to Peter, who, at the time, was engaged in an affair with Maria Francisca. The first step was securing the annulment of Afonso and Maria's marriage, which was duly granted — the papal bull authorising it arrived in Lisbon on the 27 March 1667. On the 22 November that same year, Afonso was coerced by Maria and Peter into relinquishing power, after which he was exciled to Terceira Island, in the Azores, forcibly cut off from both family and courtly company.

Against this turbulent backdrop, Isabel's birth played a crucial role in easing tensions. Yet, divisions persisted within the Braganza family, particularly concerning Catherine of Braganza, who was deeply dismayed that her brother [Peter] had usurped Afonso's throne. She condemned the entire affair as "morally unacceptable" and strongly disapproved Maria Francisca, whom she regarded as arrogant and power-hungry. Consequently, Catherine refused o serve as Isabel's godmother. In stark contrast, Isabel's godfather was none other than Louis XIV of France, who, through his ambassador, the Abbé of Saint-Romain, presented her with an exquisite jewel adorned with over 10,000 diamonds.

During her early years, Isabel was personally educated by her mother, as Maria trusted no one else with her daughter's upbringing due to past conflits. This choice proved highly eneficial to Isabel's development, as evidenced by a letter from Francisco Correia de Lacerda, secretary of State, to Duarte Ribeiro de Macedo, the king's economist and legal adviser. In it, Francisco noted:

"The Queen had gone out (...) and took the Infanta with her, which brought great joy to the people."

On 27 January 1674, at the age of five, Isabel was formally sworn in as presumptive to the throne. From then on, her education reflected the expectations placed upon a future monarch. She was fluent in french — her mother tongue — from an early age and later mastered italian and spanish. Her studies also encompassed latin, and she developed a profound passion for both national and internacional history.

As expected, alonside her literary and philosophical studies, Isabel received a rigorous religious education. She also learned to play the harpsichord and perfected the art of courtly dance. Yet, what truly captivated her from an early age was physical activity, particularly hunting. From childhood, she would accompany her father and his close companions on hunting expeditions — an enthusiasm that remained with her throughout her life.

Isabel was frequently likened to the roman goddess Diana, not only for her passion for hunting but also for her unmatched beauty. Some artists portrayed her in paintings and engravings as a nymph or, as mentioned earlier, as Diana herself. This left many courtiers astonished, for they could hardly believe that the model in these works was, in fact, Isabel.

According to António Caetano de Sousa, a clergyman and historian, Isabel possessed:

"(...) a remarkable nature and an extraordinary beauty, which only became more radiant with age, accompanied by great virtues. She was of a gentle disposition, naturally affable, with a keen intellect, to which she added prudence, devotion, and piety. So admirable was her character that no one ever had reason to complain of her — on the contrary, she took great care to honour all those around her, earning universal admiration. Her royal presence brought joy to the people whenever she allowed herself to be seen in public (...). She was a tall princess, some what slender but well-proportioned, with striking teeth and an air of majesty — so much so that she was among nature's finest creations. To this, she added a natural kindness, a pious and generous heart, which made her universally beloved by both the nobility and the common people."

One of the matters for which Isabel is chiefly known is the protracted Marriage Treaty, negotiated on her behalf (lasting from 1679 to 1682), wherein it was Peter who undertook the negotiations, though ever under the scrutiny of the Councill, for his brother [Afonso], though exiled, yet lived still in the Azores. Amongst the suitors entertained was Victor Amadeus of Sardinia, Duke of Savoy and future King of Sardinia, who was first cousin to Isabel. The ouset of this matrimonial affair was not most auspicious: a proihibition was enshrined in one of the fundamental laws institued by the Cortes de Lamego, whereby it was declared that "heiresses princesses might not wed foreign princes, and that should such a union be contracted, all thir descendants would be precluded from succession to the crown". Peter petitioned for the establishment of a legal doctrine to justify the necessity of such a union. Thus, on the 1st of November 1679, an assembly was convened, at which was present also the Junta dos Três Estados (the central portguese administrative boudy, entrusted with matters o military and foreign affairs), was also present, and a dispensation was granted for the marriage, albeit with the proviso that Victor should take up residence in Portugal, naturalising his abode and attending to the portuguese crown.

In the final instance, Victor despatched his ambassador to Portugal so as to undertake the necessary preparations for the nuptials. On the 1st June 1679, General Pedro Jacques de Magalhães, together with his fleet of eight ships, bore with him the procuration signed by Isabel, authorising him to receive Victor and thence to convey him to Portugal, fulfilling all due formalities. Upon their arrival in Turim, Victor's mother, Marie Jeanne Baptiste of Savoy-Nemous, declared her son to be indisposed and thus incapable of making the voyage to meet his intended bride. From that moment forth, the matter of the marriage was abandoned with Peter choosing to desist from further negotiations.

It is believed that the true cause of the marriage's failure lay in the House of Savoy's fear of the preponderant influence of Louis XIV, whose chief interest was the annexation of Piedmont to the French realm—a design which might have been accomplished through the unconditional support of the Portuguese crown. Louis himself evinced a willingness to enter into a treaty with Portugal regarding the Duchy of Savoy, yet the Portuguese crown, maintaining its stance of neutrality, refused to assent. From thenceforth, both the Portuguese and the French endeavoured to procure a suitable match for Isabel, yet all efforts were in vain. The following suitors were proposed: Louis, Grand Dauphin; Charles II of Spain; Ferdinando de’ Medici, Grand Prince of Tuscany; Ranuccio II Farnese, Duke of Parma; Joseph I, Holy Roman Emperor; Louis Armand II, Prince of Conti; Maximilian II Emanuel; and Charles III Philip, Elector Palatine. Isabel was, as all princesses and infantas, a mere piece upon the board of international politics, and among the people, she came to be known as “The Ever-Betrothed".

On the 12 September 1683, following the death of her uncle and the complete transfer of absolute power to Peter, Isabel was elevated from Infanta to Princess of Beira. Alas, Maria passed away on the 27 November 1683, leaving Isabel only 14 years of age. These were months of deep mourning and sorrow, to the extent that Peter refused to remarry. However, under pressure from Pope Innocent XI and the Council of State, he was compelled to take as his wife Princess Maria Sophia of Neuburg. With the birth of the future King of Portugal, João V, Isabel was no longer the presumptive heir, and the urgency of securing a final suitor was relegated to a secondary concern—indeed, there had even been consideration of negotiating a marriage with her godfather, Louis XIV, who had recently become a widower.

In 1690, Isabel contracted smallpox, which, due to the medication administered to her and her consistently weakened immune system, developed into tuberculosis, leaving her in a state of frailty and perpetual illness. From that moment onward, the Princess knew that her time was drawing near, and she took it upon herself to arrange her funeral and the management of her estate. Her will attests to the great compassion she bore, as she requested that the majority of her wealth be allocated to the less fortunate and that her wet nurses be granted their freedom. In its final passages, Isabel apologised to Peter for failing to fulfil the royal duty of providing grandchildren and securing the future of the Portuguese crown, as well as for not fully discharging the responsibilities expected of her as a princess. She passed away on the 21 October 1690.

More on Cristia Callegari

Courtesy of an anon:

She is not a Piquet. She came from a humble family. I searched a little. It wasn't difficult.

Translation:

My name is Cristia Estéfani Callegari de Mello Matos. I was born on February 10, 1997, in Praia Grande, SC. I come from a humble family and grew up in the municipality of Mampituba, RS, in the community of Rio da Invernada. My parents are Bento Cardoso de Matos and Rejane Callegari de Mello Matos. They got married and had three children: Éri Cleiton Callegari de Mello Matos, myself, and Clair Mariano Callegari de Mello Matos.

I like to be called Cristia Callegari. I'm an Aquarius, determined, and I go after my goals. I was well raised and influenced by my great-uncle, a priest known as Father Mariano Callegari. I love going to church. Since I was young, I helped with the choir and liturgy in my community. My family has always worked in agriculture—banana production and growing food for consumption such as corn, beans, cassava, and vegetables in general. I used to help my grandmother, Terezinha Callegari, with housework, take care of my little cousins, and also helped my parents in the fields, taking care of the house and my younger brother. We lived a simple life, and up until a few years ago, we had very little access to the outside world—no internet or cell phone signal.

I ran for the Nature Festival Court in the municipality in 2011 and won as the 1st princess at the age of 13. That same year, I took part in a model selection in São João do Sul, SC, with my brother Éri Cleiton. Then, in pursuit of a career, we traveled to São Paulo. I remember it like it was yesterday—we had no money, sold some family belongings, held raffles, borrowed money, and went. We got into a few modeling agencies in São Paulo, but due to financial limitations, we couldn’t invest further in our dream.Still seeking recognition in the municipality, I ran again for the Nature Festival Court and was elected for the second time as the 1st princess. I started to take the dream of becoming a model even more seriously. I participated in the Garota Verão 2014 contest and placed among the 25 most beautiful girls on the Gaúcho coast, representing the city of Três Cachoeiras. In 2015, I represented the beach of Mariápolis and ranked among the 33 most beautiful girls in the regional stage of Garota Verão in Arroio do Sal. I also competed in and won the Garota Balneário Gaivota, SC.

I left home at the age of 16 and worked for a year with a lady named Enedina da Silva Roldão in downtown Mampituba. While still pursuing my dream, I worked at Coelho’s office in Mampituba for three months. I also took part in road races with my brother Éri Cleiton. We had many victories, and one of the highlights was making it to the State Finals of the Sesc Road Race in Porto Alegre for two consecutive years. I participated in events representing Mampituba, and from there I moved to my hometown, Praia Grande, SC. I started working at Marlene Santos’ store, a well-known shop in the region. Thanks to her, opportunities came up to do catalogs and modeling work for clothing brands like Pano Chik, in Sombrio, SC, and I also modeled for the footwear brand Beira Rio. I worked for a few months at a pizzeria on weekends, and today I work as an office assistant at Wolmir Daros Cardoso’s gas station.

My dream is more alive than ever!

This is me... I plan to take part in many more contests, and, God willing, I will have new opportunities and challenges ahead. Because it’s not enough to just dream—you have to fight and go after what you want. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do!

Innes / ヒーニアス

Innes is the haughty prince and heir of Frelia in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Innes is a Scottish name most associated with Clan Innes, which was allegedly founded by a Flemish knight granted the land of Innes by King Malcolm IV. The name Innes is descended from the Gaelic Aonghas, which comes from the Old Irish Oíngus. This is the name of an Irish god of love and youth, typically addressed as Aengus. In Irish tradition, he is the illegitimate son of the chief god the Dagda with Boann, raised by Midir; Scottish myth instead named him as the beautiful son of Beira (also called Cailleach), a deified crone associated with the landscape and weather, and the lover of Brigid.

The Spanish localization of The Sacred Stones instead names this character James. The name James is an anglicization of the Latin name Iacomus, which in turn is descended from an earlier Latin's Iacobus and Hebrew's Ya'aqov (Jacob). Though there are countless uses of the name James, it would be most thematically consistent with other names in the game for this to reference one of the biblical uses of the name James. James the Just (sometimes considered the same as James the Less) was the brother of Jesus Christ, a bishop of Jerusalem, and is accredited with writing the Epistle of James. There is also James the Great, brother of the apostle John and cousin to Jesus; he and his brother were some of the first of the Twelve Apostles. James the Great is considered the patron saint of Spain. Perhaps this was a factor behind the choice of name in this translation?

In Japanese, Innes is named ヒーニアス (rōmaji: hīniasu), officially romanized as Heanius. This most likely is derived from two very similar names: the Hebrew Phinehas or the Greek Phineus, both regularly anglicized as Phineas (JP: フィニアス; rōmaji: finiasu). As narratives of both of these cultures are frequently referenced in The Sacred Stones, either (or both) of these names may have the intended reference.

In the Books of Exodus and Numbers, Phinehas (JP: ピネハス; rōmaji: pinehasu) is the third high priest of the Israelites, following his father Eleazar and grandfather Aaron. During the Exodus, the Israelite men began to seek out the women of the Moabite and Midianite peoples, and would take to worshipping their gods. An angered Yahweh (the Judeo-Christian God) then brought a plague upon the land for his people turning on him. Though Moses warned of a death penalty to be brought upon those who would persist these relations, Zimri, heir of the tribe of Simeon, made a public display of defiance by entering the tent of a Midianite princess. In retaliation and religious fervor, Phinehas brought the spear upon them; Yahweh recognized this as an act of atonement, and would bless Phinehas' lineage. Regarding the name itself, while it is largely accepted nowadays that the name Phinehas is of Egyptian origin meaning "Nubian," others have asserted it to be of Hebrew origin, meaning "snake's mouth." This pairs incredibly well with one of Frelia's Sacred Twins being the Serpent Bow Nidhogg, named after the Norse serpent that gnaws on the roots of the World Tree.

The name Phineus (JP: ピーネウス; rōmaji: pīneusu) appears a few times in Greek myth, but the most commonly referenced is King Phineus of Salmydessus, a land within Ancient Thrace. He was gifted prophetic visions by Apollo, but it was for these visions Phineus would be blinded (at least in some stories). He would be regularly pestered by the Harpies of the sun god Helios, who would take or sully his meals. His story is integrated within the Argonautica—a poetic epic by Apollonius Rhodius telling of the journey of the hero Jason and the crew of his ship, the Argo. After the Argo made land in Salmydessus, Phineus told the visitors of his suffering and a vision he received; Zetes and Calais, the sons of the northern wind god Boreas, were to finally rid him of the Harpies. In exchange for realizing this prophecy, Phineus provided guidance for the Argonauts' future trials.

Biography

Maria was born in Queluz, Portugal. On 22 September 1816 in Madrid, she married her uncle Infante Carlos Maria Isidro of Spain, "Count of Molina".

In 1833, Maria Francisca, her husband and children were exiled from Spain because they refused to recognize Isabella II as heiress to the Spanish throne. They went first to Portugal and then to Alverstoke in Hampshire, England. While in Hampshire, Maria became ill and died on 4 September 1834.

A crowd of several thousand was known to have visited the village to pay their respects as her body lay at the rectory of St Mary's Gosport, where her funeral was held and a marble stone honours her memory. Although initially interred in St Mary's Catholic Church Gosport, Maria Francisca's remains were later transferred to Trieste Cathedral in Italy, where the Carlist pretenders and their wives are buried.

Four years after her death, Carlos married Maria Francisca's own sister, Maria Teresa, Princess of Beira.

Team Megrez. Redundant press and the order of things: No. The f-word. Flip? Do you glance at that expensive diploma next to your desk and wonder where it all went wrong, yeah me neither. Your escorting swindler is being escorted toward the trash decor like a stuntperson with road rash. It was a fabricated marriage. For Harry, it was an heir and put-up-your-dukes. For her, it was an A-list byline on front pages. It’s been six plus years. She’s California private secretary to a British sex letch, cashing in on my entrapment, made possible by her numerically uneven in-laws, whom she was acquainted, gaining clout and babies she could’ve had without the devil’s sex. Classic Hank and Megs.

In such spare dialogue, we learn that she knew the code of way too cute, high priority, penises in boxes, and signatures. Did chatterbox put that in her many Parliamentary speeches: that she was aware she married Harry Windsor, FedEx President, cause of schoolzone shootings and suicides?

Their American Apple Orchard venture that Harry is masterminding? It’s Adam Eve firsties. I’m on record declining. Her magnetically-linked company and jargon advertise my RAPE.

I want a public divorce.

Bow out.

It’s a modicum of justice for the deceased and, in the process, a worldly rejection as an adult with children like I’ve felt for thirty years, alone, childless.

It gets her away from a princess’s memory.

Artica frantically waved her hands and shook her head. "Nonononono! Queen Beira isn't my mother! I'm no princess"

She calmed down with a huff and then explained "My mother is a member of her Court and my father was a humble human farmer." She then coursed a hand through her curls, sighing

"Was, because the cult leader killed him while he was trying to bring my mother to safety..."

"A little... This big lad has been with me since he was a wee lamb. He got attached to me, and I got attached to him. He's my familiar now"

She caresses the gray billygoat while he nuzzles her and licks her cheek.

"He helps me when I got bad thoughts."

Joana of Braganza was the eldest surviving daughter of John IV of Portugal and  Luisa de Guzmán. The title “Princess of Beira” was created for her by her father, and was originally equivalent to the French title of “Madame Royale” or the British “Princess Royal”. Over time it would come to belong to the heir apparent of the heir apparent to the throne.

It had never happened before. Well, not in a way that she would think anything of it. Dreams were abstract, and her mind was stressed from the events that had happened in a short amount of time. Prince Oberyn had nearly died, and it was shortly after that, that Lord Tyrion was rushing them out of the Keep, only to be told to go with Prince Daemon. She didn't understand, but more than anything, she was scared. She'd managed one more letter to Robb before they left. Telling him the best she could without giving any information about where they were going. She couldn't chance Cersei knowing where they were going, or so she had been told. It wasn't hard for her to believe, she didn't trust the Queen Mother in the least bit. Sleep had been hard for her, but usually she could get at least five or six hours in. But tonight would be different. She dreamed of being in a hall, at a banquet. Robb was there, as was his mother. Her parents there as well. She didn't know where they were, but something seemed off. She wasn't seeing things the way she would have normally. It was like she was crawling on the ground for some reason. The next thing she saw was her parents being made an example of. Slaughtered for allying themselves with the Stark's. She saw her mother wailing while her husbands head was cut from his shoulders, only for her to meet her end in the same way. It wasn't until she saw Robb being stabbed, those words haunting her dreams. "The Lannister's send their regards."She shot up from her laying possession, crying out her betrothed's name as she frantically looked around her room, gasping for air like she hadn't been able to breath. When she found herself in the same room Daemon had designated for her, she wiped some sweat from her face. Beira was quick to check on her, having been sleeping in the bed next to her. It took a moment for her to catch her breath, the soft fur of the direwolf reminding her of where she was, and that she was...Well as safe as she could be. But the people she loved...She wasn't so sure. Brienne was quick to rush in when she heard her cry out. She was such an attentive knight, and Ana couldn't have been more grateful for her and her service she had offered her. It was hard for her to explain what happened, what she had dreamt of, but she could tell her that something was wrong, and she needed to see Princess Kara immediately. Brienne didn't feel right leaving her there, and they both agreed to go together to speak with her. When she was let into the room, Brienne agreed to wait outside. As she looked at her friend, the tears she had been fighting had finally won out, streaming down her face. "Something's happened. I was...I was sleeping and then..." She paused, realizing her panic was getting the better of her. "I think something is wrong."

[drosera-nepenthes]

The young Queen of Portugal, who is said to be by far the most capable and well-endowed mentally of all the late Comte de Paris' children, must be exceedingly pleased with her brother's engagement to an Austrian Archduchess. Though she married when quite a girl – the festivities attendant on her engagement and marriage, you remember, were the real cause of her unfortunate father's final exile from France – the young Queen Marie Amélie has remained a thorough Orleanist, and she has never given up the hope that her brother may yet become, if not King of France, at least King of the French.

No greater contrast could be found than that existing between the Queen-Dowager of Portugal, and her practical, shrewd daughter-in-law. Maria Pia was a Princess of the House of Savoy, and spent a fortune each year on her dress. Queen Marie Amélie makes all her own hats and bonnets, and early established a work-room in the palace at Lisbon, and there a Paris model can be exactly copied in as many different materials and schemes of colouring as is required. The Queen is a very handsome woman, and her fair hair and clear skin make her look still quite young in a country where women age with painful rapidity. She is devoted to her two sons, and, if only for their sakes, she will exert all her knowledge of the world and innate ability to save Portugal from the fate which seems likely to befall the little kingdom. Dom Carlos is said to have a great belief in the wisdom of his Consort, and they have made it a rule of late years never to simultaneously leave the country. This wise resolution imposes many privations on the young Queen. She is tenderly attached to her mother, and would, if it were possible, spend much of her time with the widowed Comtesse de Paris. It is very probable that the Duke and Duchess of Orleans will spend a portion of their honeymoon in Portugal, for Queen Amélie has always kept a very soft corner in her heart for her wild harum-scarum brother.

The Duke and Duchess of Braganza, as they were then, spent the first few years of their married life in the curious old Palace of Belem and it was there that their eldest child, the Duke of Beira, was born. The young Queen was at one time very anxious that her parents should spend their life of exile in Portugal, and Dom Carlos offered to place Belem at their disposition; but the Comte de Paris had a great affection for England, and he also foresaw the possible complications with the French Government. It is an interesting and somewhat significant fact that the Queen Marie Amélie has always remained in constant correspondence with her cousin Princess Waldemar of Denmark, the light-hearted  French “Mademoiselle de Chartres,” who was such a favourite with the late Emperor of Russia.

While the court was surrounded by indifference and hatred, there was one member of the royal family who enjoyed the favor of the crowd – Queen Maria Pia. Married at fourteen, she came to Lisbon with all the glory of her father, Victor Emmanuel. She indeed played with the popular favor. Her prodigality is proverbial. Her treasury is depleted; she is troubled about it at times, but has not resolution enough to stop her expenditure. The people complain, but they do not want anything done about Maria Pia because she is a “true queen.” Above all, she is majestic. A true daughter of kings, she is good-natured and generous.
