Concession of Evoramonte

"The Triumph of Constitutionalism": allegory of the Convention of Evoramonte by João Vaz, São Bento Palace

The Concession of Evoramonte, also known as the Convention of Evoramonte,[1] was a document signed on 26 May 1834, in Evoramonte, in Alentejo, between the Constitutionalists and the Miguelites, that ended the period of civil war (1828–1834) in the Kingdom of Portugal.[1]

On the Concession of Evoramonte, Dom Miguel I of Portugal, to end the bloodbath in the country after six years of civil war,[2] surrendered and abandoned his claim to the Portuguese throne, being also subjected to exile and perpetual banishment from the Kingdom of Portugal.

It was signed by the representatives of the Constitutionalists, the Marshals of the Army, Duke of Terceira and Count of Saldanha, and by the Miguelite representative, Lieutenant General José António Azevedo e Lemos.[1]
