Portugal
  • 1920: Miguel II of Braganza, head of the Miguelist branch of the Portuguese royal house and lifelong exile, formally renounces his claim to the Portuguese throne in favour of his son Duarte Nuno of Braganza. The act helps reconcile the two surviving lines of the dynasty and clears the way for the eventual unification of the Casa Real de Bragança after the death of Manuel II.
  • 2001: Death of Marshal Francisco da Costa Gomes in Lisbon, aged 87. Career soldier, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and President of the Portuguese Republic from 1974 to 1976, he was — alongside António de Spínola — the senior military figure of the Carnation Revolution and the man who guided Portugal through the most turbulent phase of decolonisation and the transition to democracy.
