The youngest son of João IV and being created Duke of Beja, he was appointed regent for his insane brother, Afonso VI, in 1668, shortly after Spanish recognition of Portugal''s independence. Peter first locked his brother away, but came to the throne in his own right after Afonso''s death in 1683. Around this time, the discovery of silver mines in Brazil enlarged Peter''s treasury to the extent that he was able to dismiss the Cortes in 1697 and rule without its revenue grants for the rest of his reign. Initially Peter supported France in the War of Spanish Succession (1702 - 1715), but on May 16, 1703, Portugal and Britain signed the famous Methuen Treaty.
