O Hino Da Carta

The Hymno da Carta (modern spelling: Hino da Carta, English: Anthem of the Charter) was officially proclaimed the national anthem of the Kingdom of Portugal in May 1834. It was composed by D. Pedro IV, King Peter IV of Portugal (also Emperor Peter I of Brazil). "Carta" stands for the Constitutional Charter which Peter IV granted to Portugal. The anthem remained officially in place until 1911, one year after Portugal became a republic, and was replaced by A Portuguesa.
