Jaime of Braganza (1479 – 20 September 1532) was the 4th Duke of Braganza and the 2nd Duke of Guimarães, among other titles. He saw his father Fernando II executed for treason, and his family exiled. After King John II’s death, King Manuel I restored their wealth in 1498. Jaime built a new palace, was briefly heir presumptive, and later avoided punishment for killing his wife by conquering Azamor in Morocco.
