De imperatriz do Brasil ao exílio em Portugal, a vida de Amélia de Leuchtenberg

from A História repete-se · host Margarida de Magalhães Ramalho e Lourenço Pereira Coutinho

Neste episódio de “A História repete-se”, Lourenço Pereira Coutinho e Margarida de Magalhães Ramalho convidaram a investigadora brasileira Cláudia Thomé Witte, autora de “Amélia de Leuchtenberg, Imperatriz do Brasil, Duquesa de Bragança” para conversar sobre a vida atribulada e desconhecida da segunda mulher do Imperador D. Pedro I do Brasil. Amélia de Leuchtenberg era neta da imperatriz francesa Josefina, primeira mulher de Napoleão. A queda do imperador dos franceses, em 1815, seria um sério revés na carreira de seu pai, o príncipe Eugénio, adotado por Bonaparte. Temendo represálias, o príncipe fugiria com a família para a corte de seu sogro, rei da Baviera. Numa tentativa de recuperar o prestígio da família, Amélia de Leuchtenberg casaria com D. Pedro de Bragança, o primeiro imperador do Brasil e viúvo de Leopoldina da Áustria. Amélia, não seria imperatriz por muito tempo. Contestado em várias frentes, D. Pedro I seria obrigado a abdicar no filho, para salvar a monarquia. O casal imperial partiria para o exílio usando apenas o título de duques de Bragança. A partir da Europa, D. Pedro dedicar-se-ia a recuperar o trono da sua filha D. Maria II, deposta por D. Miguel, seu tio e teoricamente seu marido. Depois de dois anos de guerra civil, que dividiria o país, Portugal deixava para trás o absolutismo tornando-se uma monarquia constitucional. D. Pedro, que se assumira a regência da filha ainda menor, morreria, porém, ainda esse ano. Por sua vontade, D. Maria casaria, pouco depois, com o seu cunhado Augusto de Leuchtenberg. O casamento duraria pouco já que o príncipe morreria dois meses depois com difteria. D. Maria II voltaria a casar com Fernando de Saxe Coburgo, de quem teve vários filhos. Afastada da corte e da enteada, por intrigas, Amélia dedicar-se-ia à filha Maria Amélia e à preservação da memória do marido. Nunca esqueceria, porém, os enteados com quem vai manter uma larga correspondência ao longo da vida. Visitaria, por diversas vezes, a sua família mas, a duquesa de Bragança regressaria sempre a Lisboa. A vida de Amélia de Leuchtenberg , que se desenrola em momentos importantes da história da Europa, de Portugal e do Brasil, seria, do ponto de vista pessoal semeado de grandes tragédias. O derradeiro foi ter perdido, num espaço de dois anos, a mãe, o irmão mais novo e a sua filha de 21 anos.  Até ao final da sua vida, em 1873, Amélia de Leuchtenberg continuaria a trabalhar em prole dos enteados, dos desvalidos da sorte e a honrar a memória, da filha e do marido. Do seu legado ainda subsiste o Hospital Princesa D. Maria Amélia, no Funchal e o orfanato Brasilisch Stiftung em Munique.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
