Editorial Note: The correct name of the king was Dom João Peculiar, and not "Don Juan Peculiar".

Both the title "Don" and the name "Juan" are Spanish and not Portuguese. The two nations and their languages are quite different (Portugal's national borders were established in the 12th Century; Spain was not unified until the 15th), and most Portuguese find the use of Spanish names and designations for Portuguese leaders demeaning.
