Monarchs of Portugal

Below are all of the monarchs of Portugal, including the years of their reign, beginning with the House of Burgundy.  What is shown is the relationship between those monarchs and me based on who has so far been identified as the closest male ancestor.  Since there are multiple lines of descendants from the earlier monarchs, there remain unexplored lines which might, if developed, result in closer relationships to the later monarchs.  Of these monarchs, the most recent ancestor is Alphonso I.
