Death[edit]

Afflicted with tuberculosis in late 1652, Teodósio died on 15 May 1653.[12] His death, deemed a "major disaster for the regime",[13] deeply impacted his parents.[14][15] His younger sister, Catherine, would remember him throughout her life and request to be buried beside him when drafting her will more than forty years later.[16]


Teodósio's brother, the medically and mentally problem-ridden Afonso, succeeded him as Prince of Brazil, Duke of Braganza and heir apparent of the kingdom.[4][17]
