English school (XVII-XVIII) - Queen Catherine of Braganza
Very fine old master miniature of Queen Catherine of Braganza
Catherine of Braganza's life is a compelling mix of heroism and valuable contributions. As a Portuguese princess who married King Charles II, she helped bring stability to England after a turbulent era. Her unwavering support for her husband, despite being a Catholic in a predominantly Protestant nation, exemplifies her heroism. Moreover, her introduction of tea-drinking to the English court left a lasting cultural impact and brought about positive changes in English social customs, making her a source of inspiration and her legacy truly remarkable. The borough Queens in New York city was named in her honour.
