Dona Maria Amélia was a princess of the Empire of Brazil and a member of the Brazilian branch of the House of Braganza.
Her parents were Emperor Pedro I, the first ruler of Brazil, and Amélie of Leuchtenberg. The only child of her father's second marriage, Maria Amélia was born in France after Pedro I abdicated the Brazilian throne in favor of his son Dom Pedro II.
Before Maria Amélia was a month old, Pedro I went to Portugal to restore the crown of the eldest daughter of his first marriage, Dona Maria II.
He fought a successful war against his brother Miguel I, who had usurped Maria II's throne.
