Resumen
La Guerra de Sucesión española fue el primer conflicto internacional en el que Portugal participó después de la restauración de su independencia en 1668. Su integración en el bando aliado otorgó a Lisboa una posición central ante la inminente invasión de España. La capital portuguesa fue así un perfecto centro de operaciones, además de provisional residencia del archiduque Carlos en el bienio 1704-1705. Este artículo analiza la estancia del Habsburgo en la ciudad y sus viajes por la geografía portu-guesa supervisando los preparativos militares acompañado de Pedro II de Braganza. Los días que pasaron en Lisboa y su periplo no respondie-ron, sin embargo, a un patrón prebélico. Comprendieron también visitas a reliquias e iglesias así como un vistoso programa festivo en numerosas localidades que buscaban publicitar las virtudes de ambos soberanos. Solo después de la conquista de Gibraltar y la entrada de los Aliados en el Mediterráneo Lisboa perdería su protagonismo.
The War of the Spanish Succession was the first international conflict in which Portugal took part after the restoration of its independence in 1668. Portuguese integration in the allied group gave Lisbon a central position in the face of the imminent invasion of Spain. The capital city of Portugal was the perfect operations headquarters and the provisional residence of the Archduke Charles during 1704-1705. This article ana-lyzes the Habsburg’s stay in the city and his journeys around the Portu-guese geography supervising military preparations in the company of King Peter II. However, the days spent in Lisbon and the trips didn’t ac-tually correspond with a pre-warfare state. Visits to relics and churches, as well as flamboyant festive programs in different cities were carried out in an attempt to proclaim their royal virtues. Only after the conquest of Gibraltar and the Allies entered the Mediterranean Sea did Portugal lose its protagonism.
