Abstract

The Portuguese Civil War (1828-1834) allowed the establishment of a constitutional regime in this kingdom. This transformation obviously brought new challenges for the King, for the royal House and for the monarchy itself. If the king’s absolute power was limited by constitutional texts, the exercise of that power has also undergone some changes, being in charge of the moderating power and representative power of the nation. One of the most visible aspects of monarchy has always been court ceremonies as a manifestation of royal power. In this sense, it is important to know the impact of the transformation of the absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy in the Portuguese court ceremonies, placing them in a European context.
