Dom Michael of Braganza (Portuguese: Miguel de Bragança) was a Portuguese infante, illegitimate son of King Pedro II of Portugal and of the French lady Anne Armande Pastre de Verger (sometimes called du Vergé). Miguel was recognized by his half brother, King John V of Portugal, who demanded he should be regarded as his brother. He was born in Lisbon on 15 October 1699 and died drowned in the Tagus River on 13 January 1724.

Marriage and descendants

He married Dona Luísa Casimira de Sousa Nassau e Ligne, Princess of Ligne by her birth, and, through her mother, heiress of a rich and old Portuguese noble family: she was 30th Lady of the House of Sousa, 6th Countess of Miranda do Corvo and honorary Duchess of Lafões.

They had two sons and two daughters.
