Iñigo Lopes, 6th Sovereign Lord of Biscay (1025-1076), being entwined by marriage through the centuries with the Royal Houses of Portugal, Castile, León, Navarre and Aragon; and also with the major Families of these Kingdoms, so that you will not find today in the whole peninsula Great House or peer of the Old Nobility, with which it is not related. The Dukes of Loule are the Dynastic line of the Portuguese Royal House, and they have among others, the titles of Duke of Loule (1862), Marquis of Loule (1799), Count of Vale de Reis (1628), Lord of Azambuja (1200), Montargil (13th century), and Póvoa e Meadas (1482); Alcaide-mor (like Mayor) of the Villages of Azambuja (12th Century), Moura (1640), Loulé and Albufeira (17th Century); They are Representative of the house of Duke of Terceira (1832) and of the House of Counts of Rio Grande (1678); The Duke of Loulé are th Head of Name and Arms of Portuguese Mendóças, Barretos, Rolins (Azambujas) and Mouras.

Princess Dona Ana de Jesus Maria de Bragança and Bourbon (1806 – 1857), Infanta of Portugal, youngest daughter of King Dom João VI (1767-1826) and Queen Dona Carlota Joaquina de Borbón (Princess of Spain), the House of the Dukes of Loule as Dynastic Line of the Royal House of Portugal, becomes the first line of succession of the Crown of Portugal, after the Portuguese descendants of Queen Dona Maria II. Thus the members of this House came to be in a position equivalent to that in France (since the XV century) is called Prince du Sang (Prince of the Blood. (in Luiz de Mello Vaz de São Payo, “A Linha de Sucessão”, Revista Raízes & Memórias, nº 9, Associação Portuguesa de Genealogia, Lisboa, 1993, págs. 15 a 21).

Assim, a Sereníssima Senhora Infanta Dona Ana de Jesus Maria, continuou com todos os direitos que lhe cabiam por nascimento na Sucessão da Coroa Portuguesa, transmitindo à sua descendência os mesmos direitos dinásticos à Coroa de Portugal.
