'''Jaime of Braganza''' (1479 – 20 September 1532) was the 4th [[Duke of Braganza]] and the 2nd [[Duke of Guimarães]], among other titles. He is known for reviving the wealth and power of the [[House of Braganza]] which had been confiscated by King [[John II of Portugal]].


== Life ==
He was the older son of Duke Fernando II of Braganza (1430-e.1483), who was executed for treason by order of King [[John II of Portugal]]. James fled to Castille and returned to Portugal in 1498, three years after the king's death, when the Braganzas' treason was forgiven.
Born in 1479, Jaime I of [[Bragança, Portugal|Braganza]] was young when he witnessed the arrest and execution of his father, [[Fernando II, Duke of Braganza]], and of his uncle, [[Infante Diogo, Duke of Viseu|Diogo, Duke of Viseu and Duke of Beja]]. They were both executed for treason when King John II discovered a plot among the nobility against the Crown. After his father's death, Jaime's family, the House of Braganza, were banished to [[Crown of Castile|Castile]] and their properties and vast wealth were seized by the Portuguese Crown.


After King John II's death in 1495, the throne passed to his first cousin, King [[Manuel I of Portugal]]. In 1498, King Manuel I, having been a powerful nobleman before his ascension to the throne, forgave the House of Braganza and welcomed them back to Portugal. He returned all their possessions and then some, but demanded devout loyalty from Duke Jaime of Braganza. Seeking to demonstrate the power of the House of Braganza after his wealth was returned, Jaime declined to live at [[Castelo de Vila Viçosa|Vila Viçosa Castle]] (owing to its association with his father's betrayal and murder) and built the [[Ducal Palace of Vila Viçosa]] as his seat. It was a sumptuous Portuguese Renaissance palace in the [[Alentejo]] province of Portugal.
When the family returned to Portugal, they received the lands confiscated and recovered their old privileges.


== Royal favour ==
As James' mother was Infanta Isabel, sister of the new King [[Manuel I of Portugal|Manuel I]], he was sworn [[Prince of Portugal]] when the king traveled to [[Crown of Castile|Castille]] and was yet childless.
Later in 1498, King Manuel I was to go on a diplomatic journey to [[Crown of Castile|Castile]]. This was shortly after Portugal had witnessed a succession crisis, and the King, who had no heirs, saw to it that Parliament (the Cortes) named Jaime, son of his sister [[Isabella of Viseu]], as heir presumptive to the throne of Portugal.


James married Eleanor of Mendoza, daughter of Spanish noble Juan Alonso de Guzman, 3rd [[Duke of Medina Sidonia]], who was murdered due to James' jealousy (some say it was the Duke himself who killed his wife). To obtain the royal pardon, he prepared a fleet with its own money, to conquer the city of [[Azamor]] in the Maroccan Atlantic coast. The city was easily conquered by the Portuguese and the Duke was forgiven.
Duke Jaime married Leonor Pérez de Guzmán, daughter of [[Juan Alfonso Pérez de Guzmán, 3rd Duke of Medina Sidonia]]. She was murdered in 1512 by order of Jaime who suspected her of adultery. King Manuel I decided that his nephew Jaime, in order to escape imprisonment for this crime, would have to prepare and fully finance a fleet to conquer the city of [[Azamor]], on the [[Morocco|Moroccan]] Atlantic coast. The city was easily conquered by the Duke's forces and he returned to Portugal forgiven and a hero.

Life

[edit]

Born in 1479, Jaime I of Braganza was young when he witnessed the arrest and execution of his father, Fernando II, Duke of Braganza, and of his uncle, Diogo, Duke of Viseu and Duke of Beja. They were both executed for treason when King John II discovered a plot among the nobility against the Crown. After his father's death, Jaime's family, the House of Braganza, were banished to Castile and their properties and vast wealth were seized by the Portuguese Crown.

After King John II's death in 1495, the throne passed to his first cousin, King Manuel I of Portugal. In 1498, King Manuel I, having been a powerful nobleman before his ascension to the throne, forgave the House of Braganza and welcomed them back to Portugal. He returned all their possessions and then some, but demanded devout loyalty from Duke Jaime of Braganza. Seeking to demonstrate the power of the House of Braganza after his wealth was returned, Jaime declined to live at Vila Viçosa Castle (owing to its association with his father's betrayal and murder) and built the Ducal Palace of Vila Viçosa as his seat. It was a sumptuous Portuguese Renaissance palace in the Alentejo province of Portugal.

Later in 1498, King Manuel I was to go on a diplomatic journey to Castile. This was shortly after Portugal had witnessed a succession crisis, and the King, who had no heirs, saw to it that Parliament (the Cortes) named Jaime, son of his sister Isabella of Viseu, as heir presumptive to the throne of Portugal.
