Who was Maria Pia de Saxe-Coburgo e Bragança?

Maria Pia de Saxe-Coburgo e Bragança, also known as María Pía de Sajonia Coburgo-Braganza de Laredo; and as Hilda Toledano was a woman who claimed to be an out-of-wedlock child of King Carlos I of Portugal. She also claimed that King Carlos I had recognized her as his daughter and given her the same rights and honours as legitimately-born princes of Portugal. From 1957 she claimed the right to use the royal title Duchess of Braganza and made an active claim to be the rightful Queen of Portugal. In 1983 a Portuguese court declared that she had failed to present sufficient evidence to establish King Carlos I as her father.
