John VI departed Brazil in April 1821, ending a thirteen-year exile, and arrived in Lisbon, where he was initially forbidden to disembark.

After a thirteen-year stay in Brazil, John VI left for Lisbon on 25 April 1821. His return was demanded by revolutionaries to restore metropolitan dignity. Upon arrival, he was forbidden to disembark in Lisbon, reflecting the tense political climate following the Liberal Revolution of 1820.
