Description
Hutchinson`s History of the Nations 1915 - Dom Carlos I, known as the Diplomat and the Martyr, was the King of Portugal from 1889 until his assassination in 1908. He was the first Portuguese king to die a violent death since Sebastian in 1578. The murderers were shot on the spot by the royal bodyguard and were later recognized as members of the Portuguese Republican Party. The King was killed; Prince LuÃÂs Filipe was mortally wounded; Manuel was hit in the arm; Queen Amélie of Orleans was unharmed. It was Amélie`s quick thinking that saved her younger son.
