Srsly I'd trade all my 3 presidents for him (yeah, we really have 3 presidents, don't ask) Also whats the things with 1st december? Cabinet???
on december 1st 1630, after what 30 years of spanish rule? like the coutnries had been ‘united’ under the same crown but the borders remained, but our king was the spanish king. and like, the first Filipe, he was alright. The second Filipe, he was a bit too much. The THIRD Filipe was already too damn much. Like, money being thrown out and our caravels being used by the gReAt ArMadA and the usual. And we got done. So this guy, Miguel de Vasconcelos, he was the secretary of state, but his ass was cushioned by the spanish king and we weren’t having it.
so on this lovely morning, a bunch of people marched to Terreiro do Paço, where administrative offices were, and stormed his office. Now this DUDE seriously thinks the best thing to do is hide inside a cabinet. a fucking cabinet.
but the cabinet had a bunch of papers. the idiot tried to remain still but the people heard papers rustling inside and were like ‘no way, bitch’
so they LITERALLY THREW THE CABINET OUT THE WINDOW. DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER GETTING THE MF OUT. JUST WHOOP, BYE BITCH, SEE YOU ON GROUND ZERO.
he died apparently from being crushed cause this was a heavy ass cabinet like they did in the old days (forgot the kind of wood but he sustained serious injuries)
and with that, we restored the monarchy lmao
(also PLEASE explain why 3 presidents, I am dying to know)
