Miguel I was a Portuguese king who ruled from 1828 to 1834. He was born on October 26, 1802, and was the son of King John VI of Portugal. His reign was marked by a civil war known as the Liberal Wars, which pitted his supporters against those of his brother, Peter IV, who favored constitutional monarchy. Miguel I's rule ended when he was defeated in 1834, leading to his exile. He was known for his conservative policies and opposition to liberal reforms. After his exile, he lived in various European countries until his death on November 14, 1866, in Germany.
