Portuguese Regicide: Feb. 1st 1908
http://observatoriodoalgarve.com/cna...?noticia=19248
The Royal Cause wants next February 1st (100th anniversary of the regicide) to be considered a National Mourning Day.
On February 1st 1908, at Terreiro do Paço (Lisboa), King D. Carlos and the crown prince, D. Luís Filipe, were shot by two members of the Carbonária, as they were coming back from Vila Viçosa.
Tomorrow, D. Duarte Pio de Bragança is going to present the commission in charge of the celebrations around the regicide.
