Note

In English, John IV. He was called The Fortunate. He was the first of
the Braganza kings. He governed Portugal with energy and ability,
restoring finances and promoting commerce and agriculture. He proclaimed
himself king after driving out the Spanish usurpers in 1640 and finally
routing them at the Battle of Montijo (1644). In 1649 and 1654 the
Portuguese won important naval victories over the Dutch off the coast of
Brazil, thereby regaining their possessions in South America. By his
capable administration, John succeeded in restoring Portugal to a
respected place in Europe.
