afável Rainha Maria, protetora e soberana
do povo português. Como primeira Rainha
reinante de Portugal, foi a vossa sábia

dismissed by men, or over-simplified as
hysteria or “madness,”can have been so
historically significant. Recently, her mental

with psychological symptoms, among
others. But given her lived experience
through the devasting disasters of the
Lisbon earthquake, tsunami, and fire; the
subsequent losses of husband, children,

more plausible that she was living with
untreated post traumatic stress disorder?
