The corpses of King D...Not a very accurate report.<br /><br />The corpses of King D.Carlos and D.Luis Filipe were never brought to the Palace for Queen Maria Pia to mourn them.<br /><br />They were taken to the Royal Arsenal next to the place where the regicide took place and from there, they were taken to Church of São Vicente de Fora where the funeral service was hold.<br /><br />Queen Maria Pia was driven from Palácio da Ajuda to the Arsenal where she thought only the King had been killed.<br /><br />Overshaken she cried to her daughter-in-law Queen Amélie in french "Ils ont tué mon fils" - They killed my son.<br />Queen Amélie replied "Et le mien aussi" - Mine too.<br />That's when Queen Maria Pia realised the double murder of her son and grandson.<br /><br />Her mental health began to fail from that day.<br />Often she was seen watering a carpet in the Palace with flower motifs, so that they would not fade.<br /><br />She is the only of the Braganza (by alliance) who is not buried at the Royal Pantheon of São Vicente de Fora, remaining in ItalyJoséhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927984298662713798noreply@blogger.com
