Infanta Maria Antónia of Portugal (or of Beja or Braganza); full name: Maria Antónia Adelaide Camila Carolina Eulália Leopoldina Sofia Inês Francisca de Assis e de Paula Micaela Rafaela Gabriela Gonzaga Gregória Bernardina Benedita Andrea of Braganza; Bronnbach, November 28, 1862 – Schloss Colmar-Berg, 14 May, 1959) was a Portuguese infanta, the seventh and last child of Miguel I of Portugal and Adelaide of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. She was born in exile in Germany as her father had been banished from Portugal by his brother Pedro after losing the Portuguese throne in the Liberal Wars.

On October 15, 1884 at Schloss Fischorn, Maria Antonia married Robert I, Duke of Parma as his second wife. She bore him twelve children :

  • Maria della Neve Adelaide (1885-1959). Became a Benedictine nun in the Monastery of Solesmes (France).
  • Sixtus (Sisto, "Sixte") (1886-1934). Married Hedwige de La Rochefoucauld and had a daughter, Isabelle.
  • Xavier, Duke of Parma (1889-1977). Married Madeleine de Bourbon-Busset and had issue. Head of the Ducal Family of Parma (1974-77). Carlist pretender to the throne of Spain.
  • Francesca (1890-1978). A Benedictine nun at the Monastery of Solesmes.
  • Zita (1892-1989). Married Emperor Charles I of Austria.
  • Felix (1893-1970). Married Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg, his first cousin (their mothers were sisters).
  • René (1894-1962). Married Princess Margrethe of Denmark and has issue.
  • Maria Antonia (1895-1937), a nun at the Benedictine Monastery of Solesmes (France).
  • Isabella (1898-1984). Died unmarried.
  • Louis (Luigi) (1899-1967). Married Princess Maria Francesca of Savoy and had issue.
  • Henriette (1903-1987). Died unmarried.
  • Gaetano (1905-1958). Married Princess Margarete of Thurn and Taxis. They had a daughter, Diana, and later divorced.

Maria Antonia was widowed when Robert died at Villa Pianore on November 16 1907. Later on she resided with her daughter Zita while in exile. By 1940, Zita and her family, Maria Antonia and her daughter Isabella were living in reduced circumstances in Quebec. Eventually, after the War's end, Maria Antonia moved to Castle Berg, Luxembourg where she celebrated her 90th birthday. After lingering for many years, she died there in 1959 aged 96. Many of her children and grandchildren have also lived very long lives.
