Independence of Brazil
After her daughter's death, Amélie settled again in Lisbon, where she died on at the age of 60. Under the terms of her will, her sister, Queen Josephine of Sweden, was her primary heir (receiving, among other things, the Braganza tiara), but many documents pertaining to Dom Pedro were willed to Brazil, where they reside in the Historic Archive of the Imperial Museum of Brazil in Petrópolis. Her remains were transported in 1982 to the crypt of the Monument to the Independence of Brazil in São Paulo.
