Who was José, Prince of Brazil?
D. José was the Prince of Brazil and heir apparent to the Kingdom of Portugal until his death in 1788. Born in Lisbon, he was the eldest child of Queen Maria I of Portugal and King Peter III of Portugal, members of the House of Braganza.
José died of smallpox at the age of 27, causing his younger and ill-prepared brother, the Infante John to become heir-apparent and eventually king. John's reign would be a turbulent one, seeing Napoleonic invasion and the loss of Portugal's largest and wealthiest colony, Brazil.
