Duke of Porto

Duke of Porto (in Portuguese "Duque do Porto") was an aristocratic Portuguese title with the level of Royal Dukedom, associated with the Portuguese Royal House, created in 1833, to Queen Maria II of Portugal for herself, in honour to the city of Oporto due its loyalty to the liberal cause she represented.

From then on, this title became associated to the 2nd male child of the monarch.
