Family history Duque de Santa Cruz

Duke of Santa Cruz

Die Geschichte des Herzogs von Santa Cruz verbindet die Häuser Beauharnais, Wittelsbach und Braganza. Augusto de Beauharnais wurde 1810 in Mailand geboren. Sein Vater Eugène de Beauharnais, Adoptivsohn Napoleons, hatte als Vizekönig von Italien regiert. Seine Mutter Augusta Amalia war eine Tochter König Maximilians I. Joseph von Bayern. Nach dem Ende der napoleonischen Epoche fand die Familie in Bayern eine Heimat und erhielt 1817 den Rang von Leuchtenberg.

When Eugène died in 1824, Augusto became the second Duke of leuchtenberg and Prince of eichstätt. Soon the family policy led him to Brazil. His sister Amélie married Emperor Pedro I, and Augusto accompanied her in 1829 on the journey from Europe to Rio de Janeiro. The Emperor appreciated his brother-in-law and bestowed upon him Certificate the title Duque de Santa Cruz with the title of Royal Highness on November 5, 1829.

Der Name bezog sich auf die kaiserliche Fazenda Santa Cruz bei Rio de Janeiro. Augusto war damit der einzige ausländische Prinz, dem Pedro I. einen brasilianischen Herzogstitel verlieh. Am Hof nahm er an den Feierlichkeiten der neuen kaiserlichen Verbindung teil und wurde zu einem sichtbaren Bindeglied zwischen Brasilien und den europäischen Dynastien.

Später führte ihn ein weiteres Familienbündnis nach Portugal. 1834 wurde Augusto als Gemahl der Königin Maria II. ausgewählt, einer Tochter Pedros I. Nach der Trauung in Lissabon im Januar 1835 trug er die Würde eines Prinzgemahls von Portugal. Seine Zeit an ihrer Seite währte nur kurz; bereits im März 1835 schloss sich sein Lebensweg.

Der brasilianische Titel blieb mit Augusto als seinem einzigen Träger verbunden. Gerade dadurch bewahrt er eine besondere Geschichte: Santa Cruz erinnert an einen Prinzen, dessen Familie Bayern, Frankreich, Italien, Portugal und Brasilien in einer bewegten Epoche miteinander verband.
