Braganza royal family & Brazilian royalty

"As part of a study, the remains of the first brazilian Emperor and of his two wives (D. Leopoldina and D. Amélia) have been exumed. They were analized and CT scans were performed. D. Pedro had four broken ribs (the result of a horse fall and a carriage accident, and could have aggravated the tuberculosis condition that lead to his death. He was buried with portuguese medals. D. Leopoldina had no broken bones, so the rumour that she had died after being pushed to a flight of stairs during a fight with D. Pedro is probably false. She was buried in her coronation dress. D. Amélia body was perfectly preserved, mummified. "
