- Death of John VI of Portugal
John VI fell ill after lunch at the Jerónimos Monastery and died six days later on 10 March 1826.
On 4 March 1826, John VI returned from the Hieronymites Monastery, where he had lunched, and retired to Bemposta Palace feeling poorly. He died on 10 March 1826. Recent scholarly research suggests his death may have been caused by arsenic poisoning, though this remains a hypothesis.
