Dom Manuel II (15 November 1889 – 2 July 1932), was the last King of Portugal. He became the King after the assassination of his father Carlos I and his elder brother Luís Filipe. His reign ended during the 5 October 1910 revolution. Manuel lived the rest of his life in exile in Twickenham, Middlesex, England. His short reign was an average for a monarch at that time. He sometimes had to even put down rebellions,though.

Thus their mutual descendants constitute the Coburg line of the House of Braganza"
