Description

Dom Luís I (1838–1889) was a member of the House of Braganza, and King of Portugal and the Algarves from 1861 to 1889. Luís was a cultured man who wrote vernacular poetry, but had no distinguishing gifts in the political field into which he was thrust by the deaths of his brothers Pedro V and Fernando in 1861.
