John IV, nicknamed John the Restorer, was the King of Portugal whose reign, lasting from 1640 until his death, led to the Portuguese "restoration" of independence from Spanish rule. His accession established the house of Braganza on the Portuguese throne, and marked the end of the 60-year-old Iberian Union, by which Portugal and Spain shared the same monarch.

Dona Isabel of Braganza was a member of the House of Braganza, daughter of Jaime, Duke of Braganza and Leonor Pérez de Guzmán.
