Biography
King of Portugal and the Algarves from 31 July 1750 until his death on 24 February 1777. Known as "the Reformer" (Portuguese: "o Reformador"), he was the third child of King Joao (John) V of Portugal and his wife Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria. José (Joseph) was styled Prince of Brazil as the heir apparent of the king, and Duke of Braganza.
José was devoted to hunting and the opera, and he assembled one of the greatest collections of operatic scores in Europe. On 19 January 1729, he married a Spanish Infanta, Mariana Victoria of Spain, daughter of Philip V of Spain. They had four daughters.
During José's reign the great Lisbon earthquake of 1 November 1755 killed around 100,000 people. The earthquake caused José to develop a severe case of claustrophobia and he was never again comfortable living within a walled building. Consequently, he moved the royal court to an extensive complex of tents in the hills of Ajuda.
José died 24 February 1777 aged 62.
