She looks so tenderly, what a surprise that she became that old, not very common in that time,
Several facts are amazing among the children of D.Miguel and D.Adelaide.
First of all, they all survived infancy.
Second they all lived till old age:
D. Maria das Neves infanta de Portugal, died at 88 years old
D. Miguel, duque de Bragança, died at the age of 74
D. Maria Tereza, infanta de Portugal, died at 88.
D. Maria José, infanta de Portugal, died at 85.
D. Aldegundes, infanta de Portugal, duquesa de Guimarães, died at 87.
D. Maria Ana, infanta de Portugal, grand-duchess of Luxembourg died at 81.
D. Maria Antónia, infanta de Portugal, died at 96.
Third : all the orphan daughters and the son of an exiled king made excellent marriages, much superior to their cousins, daughters of Queen D.Maria II and D.Fernando II, who, through his Saxe-Coburg connections, could have found better matches to his daughters.
Remarkable
