Thanks for the link RDavid. Unfortunately I cannot get access to read the document, as an error message keeps coming up saying the site might have too many using it etc.

I wonder if the archives are geo-blocked? I have been trying for nearly 2 hours.

Do I understand correctly that you are saying that the estates in Portugal, which the King left to his wife and mother, were strictly private property?

If so, does any one know if either of the Queens was able to access them?

Is there any indication of property the King held outside Portugal and England?
