Glad you appreciated it.
I missed one important marriage:
D.Pedro --- D.Maria II---
................................ -
D.Miguel------------------
In 1826, when she was 7, D.Maria married by proxy her uncle D.Miguel.
The marriage was dissolved and declared null in 1834, and, naturally, it was never consumated, neither the bride and groom ever saw each other in that capacity, but, nevertheless, it took place.
D.Miguel returned with his parents from Brazil in 1821, when D.Maria was only 2 years old.
Never read anything about the relation (if any) he had with his niece while both stayed in Brazil.
There might have been another uncle/niece marriage as one of D.Miguel possible brides was D.Ana Carlota de Moura Barreto, a daughter of his youngest sister Infanta D.Ana de Jesus Maria, duchess of Loulé.
The fact that the duke of Loulé was a constitutionalist and supported his niece D.Maria II frustrated the plan.
This is awesome. I hope you don't mind, but I saved it in a Word document.
