You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Early life ==
[[File:Portrait of the Infante Pedro (1745).png|thumb|200px|Infante Peter while [[House of the Infantado|Lord of the Infantado]], 1745.]]
Peter was born at 12:00 noon on 5 July 1717 in the [[Ribeira Palace]] in [[Lisbon]], [[Portugal]].((sfn|Sousa 1741, Vol VIII|p=369)) He was baptized on 29 August and was given the name Peter Clemente Francisco José António.((sfn|Sousa 1741, Vol VIII|p=370)) His parents were King [[John V of Portugal]] and his wife [[Maria Anna of Austria|Maria Ana of Austria]].((sfn|Sousa 1741, Vol VIII|p=369)) Peter was a younger brother of [[Joseph I of Portugal]]. Their maternal grandparents were [[Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor]], and [[Eleonor Magdalene of Neuburg]], sister of [[Maria Sofia of Neuburg|Queen Maria Sofia of Portugal]].

== Reign ==
Peter [[avunculate marriage|married his niece]] [[Maria I of Portugal|Maria, Princess of Brazil]], in 1760, at which time she was the heiress presumptive to the throne then held by his brother Joseph I. According to custom, Peter thus became King of Portugal in [[jure uxoris|right of his wife]], after the delivery of his first born child. They had six children, of whom the eldest surviving son succeeded Maria as [[John VI of Portugal]] on her death in 1816.

Peter made no attempt to participate in [[Forms of government|government]] affairs, spending his time [[hunting]] or in [[religious]] exercises.

He also defended the [[high nobility]] of Portugal, and sponsored the petitions of those accused in [[Távora affair]], whose rehabilitation was subject of new lawsuits, in which the heirs demanded the restitution of their confiscated properties.

Peter III was moderately friendly toward the Jesuits, who had been [[Suppression of the Society of Jesus#Portugal|banished from Portugal and its overseas empire in 1759]], largely at the behest of the [[Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal|Marquis of Pombal]].  Peter III had taken some of his early education from the Jesuits, explaining this.  His affection had little effect; Pope Clement XIV ordered the [[Pope Clement XIV#Suppression of the Jesuits|Jesuits suppressed across Europe]] in 1773.

== Marriage and issue ==
The couple married on 6 June 1760. At the time of their marriage, Maria was 25 and Peter was 42. Despite the age gap, the couple had a happy marriage. Peter automatically became co-monarch (as Peter III of Portugal) when Maria ascended the throne, as a child had already been born from their marriage. The couple had six children.<ref>((cite web|title=Trajetória política de D. Maria I: ideias ilustradas, convulsão política e melancolia|url=https://repositorio.ufes.br/handle/10/9292|page=50))</ref>
