Au Portugal this branch is not considered as distinct from the direct branch of Bragance because the law and the Portuguese tradition always envisaged an equality in the heritage as well paternal as maternel

1908 - October 4th 1910: Manual II the Patriot (1889-1932), Handbook II (wire of the precedent, détrôné by the revolution of 1910)

Si one considers that the representative of the throne of Portugal must be of Portuguese nationality, princes de Hohenzollern and of Saxony, legitimate descendants of Marie II, cannot assert it. The Portuguese applicant who currently joins together the greatest consensus in the Portuguese monarchists is Duarte Pio de Bragança, great-grandson of Michel Ier, by his paternal line, and also descendant of Pierre IV, by his maternal line to go down from the direct Branch of the House of Bragance.
