Particular attention is given to the Hollands' visits toPortugal in 1804-5 and 1808-9. Their journals and correspondence reveal theirimpressions of the people, culture and history of Portugal. On their travels, they met anumber of prominent Portuguese, notably Palmela, who were to remain in contact withHolland House - especially during periods of exile - for many years into the future. ThePortuguese journeys and the continuing contact with people like Palmela were to play animportant part in the development of Lord Holland's views, not only on Portugal butalso on broader political and constitutional issues.Thus the thesis investigates Lord Holland's influence on ' the establishment of aconstitutional regime in Spain in 1809-10 and - indirectly and unintentionally - inPortugal in 1820-23, It includes a study of Holland's contribution to the settlement of agovernment in Brazil in 1808 - that is at the time the Bragancas moved from Portugal toRio de Janeiro - and his indirect influence on the establishment of the United Kingdomof Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves in 1815, as well as his role in the abolition of theAtlantic Slave Trade and the effects of abolition on Anglo-Portuguese relations.Lord Holland's contribution to the establishment of a Liberal regime in Portugalin 1834 is examined at some length.
