Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating and intimate look at a pivotal moment in history: the escape of the Portuguese Royal Family from Napoleon's clutches. The author, who served as an account aboard the British frigate Solebay, provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the Prince Regent's decision to flee to Brazil in 1807, as well as the harrowing journey itself. The narrative details the French invasion of Portugal, the intrigue and betrayal within the Portuguese court, and the crucial role played by British naval forces in rescuing the Royal family. The author's vivid descriptions of the chaotic embarkation, the tense encounter with General Junot, and the dramatic escape from Lisbon paint a compelling picture of the political and personal stakes involved. The narrative underscores the power of the British Navy in defending the balance of power in Europe at this time, and showcases the resilience and determination of the Portuguese Royal family in the face of overwhelming odds.
