Peter August Ludwig Maria Michael Gabriel Raphael Gonzaga (Portuguese: Pedro Augusto Luís Maria Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga; 19 March 1866 – 6 July 1934), known in Brazil as Dom Pedro Augusto, was a prince of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry and a prince of the Empire of Brazil. He was the first of four sons born to German Prince Ludwig August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Princess Leopoldina of Brazil.
The eldest son of Prince Ludwig August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Duke of Saxony, and of Dona Leopoldina of Braganza, Princess of Brazil, Dom Pedro Augusto was also the first grandson of Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil and Empress Teresa Cristina. Her paternal grandparents were Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Princess Clémentine of Orléans (daughter of King Louis Philippe of France) . [1 Princess]
Due to the lack of heirs by the Princess Imperial and the miscarriage suffered by Dona Leopoldina in her first pregnancy, high expectations had been surrounding the birth of Dom Pedro Augusto. [2] On the eve of the birth, the council of ministers as well as representatives of the legislative, the Grandee of the Empire and the entire diplomatic corps were alerted to the big event. At 16:10h of March 19th, 1866, at the Leopoldina Hall, "The Preferred" came into the world, and his birth was announced with three rockets fired from the Imperial Palace of São Cristóvão, followed by volleys of guns of the forts and ships anchored in the bar. [Note 1] The baptism was held in April in the Imperial Chapel. In the "Speech from the Throne" on May 3 of that year, the emperor made reference to the happy event.
