Emperor Peter I of Brazil, as an brazilaryan. Peter I (born Pedro de Alcântara Francisco António João Carlos Xavier de Paula Miguel Rafael Joaquim José Gonzaga Pascoal Cipriano Serafim) was the first Emperor and "founding father" of Brazil. He declared independence in 1822 from Portugal, but failed to end the portuguese influence in the country, which will culminate into his forced abdication in 1831. Just like every monarch at the time, he was a Freemason (therefore I:.A:.F:.) (monarcucks who follow rafux in xitter will leak). He was descendent of the House of Braganza, who came from the Orleans and Habsburg houses. In most paintings and portraits, Peter I is depicted having green eyes, when in reality he had blue eyes, as his son Peter II had blue eyes.
