I particularly like the house of Infante Miguel, I looked it up on google maps and it looks lovely.
I am intrigued by your comment about Queen Amelie, if she had to be "convinced" to leave her Portuguese assets to the current Duke's father by Salazar, what was in it for her? Also if the property of the Royal family was nationalised after the death of King Manuel, why were her properties not affected?
I have read that Salazar thought about restoring the monarchy, what swayed his mind against. Am I correct in assuming he must have been a monarchist at heart to want to bring the Braganzas back from exile and being concerned regarding their financial position.
