- unspecified
From 15 November 1825, João VI adopted the style of King of Portugal and the Algarves, Emperor of Brazil, under the Treaty of Rio de Janeiro.
When Portugal recognized the independence of Brazil, references to the former united kingdom were finally removed from the royal title. Under the Treaty of Rio de Janeiro, João VI became titular Emperor of Brazil, and from 15 November 1825 onwards he adopted the style of His Most Faithful Majesty the King of Portugal and the Algarves, Emperor of Brazil. The passages do not state where this change was made.
