Wer heiratete Johann VI. (Portugal)?

Johann VI. (portugiesisch: João VI) (* 13. Mai 1767 in Lissabon; † 10. März 1826 ebenda) war König von Portugal und Brasilien aus dem Hause Braganza. Er war von 1792 bis 1816 Prinzregent von Portugal, 1815 bis 1816 auch Prinzregent von Brasilien, von 1816 bis zu seinem Tode König von Portugal und von 1816 bis 1822 König von Brasilien. Zusätzlich verlieh ihm sein Sohn Peter I. 1825 den Titel eines Kaisers von Brasilien. Johann VI. schuf 1815 das Vereinigte Königreich von Portugal und Brasilien und herrschte in der europäischen Kolonialgeschichte einzigartig von 1808 bis 1821 außerhalb von Europa in Rio de Janeiro.

Doña Carlota Joaquina Teresa Cayetana of Spain (25 April 1775 – 7 January 1830) was Queen of Portugal and Brazil as the wife of King Don John VI. She was the daughter of King Don Charles IV of Spain and Maria Luisa of Parma.

Despised by the Portuguese court, where she was often referred to as "the Shrew of Queluz" (Portuguese: a Megera de Queluz), Carlota Joaquina gradually earned the animosity of the public, who accused her of promiscuity and of using her influence over her husband to further the interests of the Spanish crown. After the escape of the Portuguese court to Brazil, she began conspiring against her husband, claiming that he lacked the mental capacity to govern Portugal and its territories, and sought to establish a regency. She also harbored ambitions to usurp the Spanish throne, which was held by Napoleon's brother, Joseph Bonaparte. Following the 1817 marriage of her son, Pedro, to Archduchess Leopoldina of Austria, and the eventual return of the royal family to Portugal in 1821, Carlota Joaquina supported her son Miguel in his efforts to seize the throne. However, their relationship soured over time. Ultimately, Carlota Joaquina was confined to the Palace of Queluz, where she died on 7 January 1830, abandoned by both her children and political allies.
