House of Braganza Luís, as D. Pedro V had no children. D. Luís I was succeeded in 1889 by his son D. Carlos I. Carlos I's popularity dramatically declined after an unfavorable deal from an incident known as the British Ultimatum, whereby the Portuguese Empire ceded its claim to territories (known as the "Pink Map") between Portuguese West Africa and Portuguese East Africa to the British. Pursuant to his unpopularity, the monarchy became increasingly unpopular in the country. King Carlos I was assassinated in 1908 together with his eldest son, D. Luís Filipe, Prince Royal of Portugal and Duke of Braganza, by republicans.
House of Orléans-Braganza had 3 surviving sons which were the first to use the surname "Orléans-Braganza": Pedro de Alcântara, Prince of Grão-Pará, Prince Luís and Prince Antônio. Both Prince Pedro and Prince Luís have children. Today they are the present claimants to the throne of the former Empire of Brazil, which became extinct with the Brazilian proclamation of the republic, on 15 November 1889 after a military coup d'état headed by Marshall Deodoro da Fonseca, the 1st President of Brazil. After the death of Princess Isabel on 1921, the House of Orléans-Braganza became the claimant of the Brazilian throne under Prince Pedro Henrique
