A crown prince in Rio at dawn refuses a summons from the Cortes and, alone at 3 a.m., signs away an empire-how did he fall from that height?

The summons from the Cortes that forced him to choose and cost him an empire

In this episode, we follow Dom Pedro I from his birth in Queluz Palace to the quiet, decisive night in Rio when he signed away his empire. We trace the personal habits, family dynamics, and political pressures that pushed him toward a choice that cost him everything - how did a man who declared an empire end up yielding it alone in the dark?
