Infanta Adelgundes of Portugal, Duchess of Guimarães[1][2] (Portuguese: Adelgundes de Jesus Maria Francisca de Assis e de Paula Adelaide Eulália Leopoldina Carlota Micaela Rafaela Gabriela Gonzaga Inês Isabel Avelina Ana Estanislau Sofia Bernardina, Infanta de Portugal, Duquesa de Guimarães[2]) (born 10 November 1858 in Bronnbach, Wertheim, Germany[1][2]; died 15 April 1946 in Gunten, Berne, Switzerland[1][2]) was the fifth child and fourth daughter[1][2] of Miguel of Portugal and his wife Adelaide of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg.[1][2] A member of the House of Braganza by birth, Adelgundes became a member of the House of Bourbon-Parma through her marriage to Prince Henry of Bourbon-Parma, Count of Bardi. She was also the Regent of the Monarchic Representation of Portugal and for that reason was granted the title of Duchess of Guimarães, usually reserved for the Head of the House.
[edit] MarriageAdelgundes married Prince Henry of Bourbon-Parma, Count of Bardi, fourth child and youngest son[1][2] of Charles III, Duke of Parma and his wife Princess Louise Marie Thérèse of France[1][2], on 15 October 1876 in Salzburg, Austria–Hungary.[1][2] Their union produced no issue.[1][2] Henry had been previously married to Princess Maria Luisa Immaculata of Bourbon-Two Sicilies who had died three months after their marriage at the age of 19 in 1874. [edit] Regent-in-absentiaBetween 1920 and 1928, Adelgundes acted as the regent-in-absentia[3] on behalf of her nephew and Miguelist claimant to the Portuguese throne, Duarte Nuno, Duke of Braganza, who was only 12 years old when his father Miguel renounced his claim to the throne in favor of his son. At the beginning of her regency in 1920, Adelgundes was created 7th Duchess of Guimarães.[3] In 1921, she authored a manifesto outlining the House of Braganza's goals for the restoration of the Portuguese monarchy. After Henry's death in 1905, Adelgundes relocated and spent the remainder of her life in Berne, Switzerland where she died on 15 April 1946 at age 87.
