Dom Pedro II (Inglis: Peter II; 2 December 1825 – 5 December 1891), nicknamed "the Magnanimous",[1] wis the seicont an last ruler o the Empire o Brazil, ringin for ower 58 year.[A] Born in Rio de Janeiro, he wis the seivent bairn o Emperor Dom Pedro I o Brazil an Empress Dona Maria Leopoldina an sicweys a member o the Brazilian branch o the Hoose o Braganza. His faither's abrupt abdication an flicht tae Europe in 1831 pit a five-year-auld Pedro II as Emperor an led tae a grim an lonely childheid an adolescence. Obliged tae spend his time studyin in preparation for rule, he kent anly brief moments o happiness an encoontered few friends o his age. His experiences wi coort intrigues an political disputes during this period greatly affectit his later character. Pedro II grew intae a man wi a strang sense o duty an devotion taeward his kintra an his fowk. On the ither haund, he increasingly resentit his role as monarch.
