Bio: Maria was born at the Ribeira Palace in Lisbon and baptized Maria Francisca Isabel Josefa Antónia Gertrudes Rita Joana. On the day of her birth, her grandfather, King John V of Portugal, created her the Princess of Beira.

When her father succeeded to the throne in 1750 as Joseph I, Maria, at age 16 and as his eldest child, became his heiress presumptive and was given the traditional titles of Princess of Brazil and Duchess of Braganza. In 1760 Maria married her uncle Pedro, younger brother of her father Jose I - although, with the coming cold and winter - her spouse died, before they could consumate their marriage.

As such, Maria is without an heir or a spouse. With the dead of her father Jose I - it has fallen on her to reign the Portugese Empire. With her first choice being, to move most of the court over to Brazil - leaving only the peasantry and several high-ranked aristocrats left in Portugal.

Her titles and situation, have made her very sought after in terms of marriage.
