Brazil
- Help Required: I have been asked if anyone knows where the
former Imperial Family of Brazil, the Braganza-Orleans who reside in
Brazil have their orders of Chivalry made? The former Imperial
Family still give, to each other and related former royalty, their own
orders of chivalry, in particular the Imperial Orders of Pedro I, The
Rose and The Cross. There are photos of them wearing such insignia, but
it appearance suggests it is modern rather than a bygone insignia of
the Brazilian Empire. It had been suggested that hey
had them
made by a Portuguese firm, although there was nothing to support that!
Please email me with any
information. |
