King Carlos I of Portugal was assassinated on 01 February 1908, in Lisbon. The assassination took place when the king and his son, Crown Prince Luis Filipe, were attacked while riding in an open carriage through the streets of Lisbon. Both King Carlos I and Crown Prince Luis Filipe were fatally wounded in the attack.
The assassination had political motivations, and it contributed to the instability in Portugal during that period. Manuel II, Carlos's younger son, succeeded him as the last reigning monarch of Portugal. The political turmoil eventually led to the establishment of the Portuguese First Republic in October 1910, marking the end of the monarchy in Portugal.
