Good Morning Portugal! 🇵🇹☕ Today’s **Portugal Club Quiz** question: On this day in 1782, one of the most influential and controversial figures in Portuguese history passed away — the man often called the “benevolent dictator”. He rebuilt Lisbon after the devastating 1755 earthquake, crushed the power of the nobility, abolished slavery in mainland Portugal, expelled the Jesuits, and created the world’s first demarcated wine region in the Douro. Carl asks: What was the title of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo?
