JOHN V

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 444 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JOHN V . (1689-1750), king of Portugal, was born at
Lisbon
  on the 22nd of October 1689, and succeeded his father Pedro II. in December 1706, being proclaimed on the 1st of January 1707. One of his first acts was to intimate his adherence to the Grand Alliance, which his father had joined in 1703. Accordingly his general Das Minas, along with Lord
Galway
 , advanced into Castile, but sustained the defeat of Almanza (
April
  14). In October 1708 he married Maria Anna, daughter of
Leopold
  I., thus strengthening the affiance with Austria; the
series
  of unsuccessful
campaigns
  which ensued ultimately terminated in a favourable peace with France in 1713 and with Spain in 1715. The rest of his
long
  reign was characterized by royal subservience to the clergy, the kingdom being administered by ecclesiastical persons and for ecclesiastical objects to an extent that gave him the best of rights to the title " Most Faithful King," bestowed upon him and his successors by a
bull
  of
Pope
  Benedict XIV. in 1748. John V. died on the 31st of July 1750, and was succeeded by his son Joseph.
