Queen Stephanie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen Bragança

 The favourite chapter by the author LOST LISBON is on the 7th volume of this gigantic work. Marina Tavares Dias dedicated a dense research, for more than 15 years, to the study of all documents related to Queen Stephanie of Portugal , always bearing in mind how different she was from all the other queens, from any time or country. Queen Stephanie, Princess of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was the first royal to decide to build a hospital exclusively dedicated to poor children. It still exists in Lisbon, and its park is a beautiful place to visit and rest.


We hope to see the publishing QUEEN STEPHANIE's biography , as announced more than 20 years ago . This vast work will cast light on the established historical lies about Estefania / 
Stephanie of Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen. Lies not only about the Queen herself but also about the people who, in the later 1800s, started the urban myths that led to these incredible lies.

Meanwhile, Queen Stephanie is the theme of these beautiful works at:
