This is a list of '''Portuguese monarchs''' who ruled from the establishment of the [[Kingdom of Portugal]], in 1139, to the deposition of the Portuguese monarchy and creation of the [[Portugal|Portuguese Republic]] with the [[5 October 1910 revolution]].

Through the nearly 800 years in which Portugal was a monarchy, the kings held various other [[Style of the Portuguese sovereign|titles and pretensions]]. Two kings of Portugal, [[Ferdinand I of Portugal|Ferdinand I]] and [[Afonso V of Portugal|Afonso V]], claimed the [[crown of Castile]] and waged wars in order to enforce their respective claims. Ferdinand I managed to be recognized as [[Kingdom of Galicia|King of Galiza]] in 1369, although his dominance of the region was short-lived. When the [[House of Habsburg]] came into power, the [[Monarchy of Spain|kings of Spain]], [[List of Neapolitan monarchs|Naples]], and [[List of Sicilian monarchs|Sicily]] also became kings of Portugal. The [[House of Braganza]] brought numerous titles to the Portuguese Crown – some honorary, such as the attribution of the title of ''[[Rex Fidelissimus]] (His Most Faithful Majesty),'' and royal titles, such as [[United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves|King of Brazil]] and then ''de jure'' [[Empire of Brazil|Emperor of Brazil]].

After the demise of the Portuguese monarchy, in 1910, Portuguese monarchists launched a counter-revolution known as the [[Monarchy of the North]], in 1919, though the attempted restoration only lasted a month before destruction. With Manuel II's death, the [[Miguelist]] branch of the house of Braganza became the pretenders to the throne of Portugal, and have all been acclaimed king of Portugal by monarchist groups.

Throughout Portugal's history as an independent kingdom, it was ruled by a total of 4 royal houses:

# '''[[Portuguese House of Burgundy|House of Burgundy]]''' (or '''Afonsine Dynasty''', 1139–1383)
# '''[[House of Aviz]]''' (or '''Johanine Dynasty''', 1385–1580)
# '''[[Philippine dynasty|House of Habsburg]]''' (or '''Philippine Dynasty''', 1581–1640)
# '''[[House of Braganza]]''' (or '''Brigantine Dynasty''', 1640–1910)

The House of Burgundy actually held the title of [[Count of Portugal]] beginning in 1096. However, all but the most comprehensive lists of Portuguese monarchs exclude such pre-independence figures.

== House of Burgundy (Afonsine Dynasty, 1139–1383) ==
The [[Portuguese House of Burgundy|'''Portuguese House of Burgundy''']] ({{langx|pt|Casa de Borgonha}}) was established in 1093 under Henry, Count of Portugal ruled the feudal [[County of Portugal]], of the [[Kingdom of Galicia]]. When Afonso Henriques was proclaimed King of Portugal by his troops in 1139, he turned the family from a comital house to a royal house which would rule Portugal for over two centuries, establishing the '''Afonsine Dynasty''' ({{lang|pt|Dinastia Afonsina}}). During the [[Reconquista]], the Afonsine Dynasty expanded the country southwards until the definitive [[Portuguese conquest of the Algarve|conquest of Algarve]] with [[Sancho II of Portugal|Sancho II]] and the establishment of the [[Kingdom of the Algarve|Kingdom of Algarve]], in 1249, under [[Afonso III of Portugal|Afonso III]]. When Ferdinand I died, an [[1383–1385 Portuguese interregnum|interregnum]] occurred between 1383 and 1385. Ferdinand's daughter [[Beatrice of Portugal]] was proclaimed queen and her husband [[John I of Castile]] proclaimed king by [[Jure uxoris|the right of his wife]]. Her legitimacy as a monarch is disputed.<ref>David Williamson, «Debrett's Kings and Queens of Europe»,1988,Webb & Bower, Exeter, {{ISBN|0-86350-194-X}}; César Olivera Serrano, [http://www.google.pt/search?hl=pt-PT&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Apt-PT%3Aofficial&channel=s&q=%22Segunda+Maqueta+Beatriz+Portugal.pmd%22&btnG=Pesquisar&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= «Beatriz de Portugal»]</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=A51pAAAAMAAJ&q=beatriz+regente+1383 García de Cortázar, Fernando (1999), ''Breve historia de España'', Alianza Editorial, page 712]; Armindo de Sousa, in História de Portugal coordinated by José Mattoso, Editorial Estampa, vol.

==House of Aviz (Johanine Dynasty, 1385–1580)==
The '''[[House of Aviz]]''' ({{langx|pt|Casa de Avis}}), succeeded the [[Portuguese House of Burgundy|House of Burgundy]] as the reigning house of the Kingdom of Portugal. The house was founded by John, [[Order of Aviz|Master of Aviz]], thus establishing the '''Johanine Dynasty''' ({{lang|pt|Dinastia Joanina}}). When King John II of Portugal died without an heir, the throne of Portugal passed to his cousin, [[Manuel I of Portugal|Manuel, Duke of Beja]]. When King [[Sebastian of Portugal]] died, the throne passed to his Grand-uncle, [[Henry, King of Portugal|Henry of Portugal]] (he might be called Henry II because [[Henry, Count of Portugal]], father of [[Alphonso I of Portugal]], was the first of that name to rule Portugal).  When Henry died, a [[War of the Portuguese Succession|succession crisis]] occurred and [[António, Prior of Crato]], was proclaimed António of Portugal.

==House of Habsburg (Philippine Dynasty, 1581–1640)==
The [[House of Habsburg|'''House of Habsburg''']] ({{langx|pt|Casa de Habsburgo}}, {{lang|pt|Casa da Áustria}}) ruled Portugal from 1581 to 1640. The dynasty began with the acclamation of Philip II of Spain as Philip I of Portugal in 1580, officially recognized in 1581 by the [[Portuguese Cortes]] of [[Tomar]]. Philip I swore to rule Portugal as a kingdom separate from his Spanish domains, under a personal union known historiographically as the [[Iberian Union]]. Following the convention of Portuguese dynasties being named after their first king, this dynasty is named the [[Philippine dynasty|'''Philippine Dynasty''']] ({{lang|pt|Dinastia Filipina}}), an especially apt name given all Habsburg monarchs of Portugal would bear the name "Philip".

==House of Braganza (Brigantine Dynasty, 1640–1910)==
The '''[[House of Braganza]]''' ({{langx|pt|Casa de Bragança}}) came to power in 1640, when [[John IV of Portugal|John II, Duke of Braganza]], claimed to be the rightful heir of the defunct House of Aviz, as he was the great-great-grandson of King Manuel I. John was proclaimed King John IV, and he deposed the House of Habsburg in 1640 during the [[Portuguese Restoration War]]. The Habsburgs continued to claim the throne of Portugal until the end of the war in the [[Treaty of Lisbon (1668)]]. Unlike other dynasties, it is not dubbed after its founder (as John IV shares a first name with John I), instead being named called the '''Brigantine Dynasty''' ({{lang|pt|Dinastia Brigantina}}, “Brigantine” meaning “from [[Bragança, Portugal|Braganza]]”).

The descendants of Queen [[Maria II of Portugal|Maria II]] and her consort, King [[Ferdinand II of Portugal|Ferdinand II]] (a German prince of the [[House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]]), came to rule in 1853. Portuguese law and custom treated them as members of the House of Braganza, though they were still Saxe-Coburg and Gotha dynasts. This has led some to classify these last four monarchs of Portugal as members of a new royal family, called the '''[[House of Braganza-Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]]''' ({{lang|pt|Casa de Bragança-Saxe-Coburgo e Gota}}), though this view is not widely held.
