Title: The Paintings - Catarina de Bragança Post by: alexasrosa on November 28, 2006, 09:53:09 am Yeah... you guessed it... another painting. And this one also has a nice story behind it AND it's from my own country :cheers:
Catarina de Bragança was the daughter of D. Luísa de Gusmão and king D. João IV (1604-1656) of Portugal. Charles II of England saw a portrait and liked her face and eyes. She had beautiful black hair and a sweet face. For the marriage she embarqued the Royal Charles and arrived at Portsmouth with fever and a sore throat, and asked for tea. That request caused a grand turmoil, because tea was not known or used in the court. She also introduced the use of porcelain plates, complaining that the meals always arrived cold because they were still served in gold and silver plates.:naughty: New Amsterdam, founded by the Dutch in 1626, was conquered by the Duke of York, brother of Charles II and became New York in 1664. The surrounding areas were called King’s Country e Queens Country. Queens Country latter became the well known “Queens” area of New York.
