Miguel was an avowed conservative and admirer of Metternich's Austria. He led two revolts against his father in the 1820s, earning himself a sentence of exile at one point. In 1826 he was betrothed to his young niece Maria II. Miguel subsequently proclaimed himself regent (February 26, 1828) and then took the throne as sole monarch (June 23, 1828) at which time he overthrew Pedro IV's constitution.
Miguel sought to gain international backing for his regime, but the Duke of Wellington's government in the United Kingdom fell in 1830 just before it could afford formal recognition. In 1831 Miguel's brother Pedro abdicated the throne of Brazil and occupied the Azores from whence he launched naval attacks on Portugal. After a three-year civil war, Miguel was forced to abdicate at Evoramonte (May 26, 1834) and was sent into exile by the victorious Pedro.
DonMiguel Ruiz, born and raised in rural Mexico, was brought up to follow his family's Toltec ways by his mother, a Toltec faith healer, and grandfather, a Toltec 'nagual', a shaman.
Despite this, DonMiguel decided to pursue a conventional education, which led him to qualify and practice for several years as a surgeon.
DonMiguel Ruiz survived a serious heart attack 2002, since when his teachings have been largely channelled through seminars and classes run by his followers, notably his sons Don Jose Luis and DonMiguel Ruiz Junior.
Born into a family of healers, nagual donMiguel was raised in rural Mexico by a curandera mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather.
The family anticipated donMiguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge.
DonMiguel's work has evolved in preparation for the recent emergency of the "Sixth Sun" of the Mayan Calendar, prophesied by the ancients to be an extraordinary period of personal and planetary change.
