'''Luís I''' (baptized as ''Luís Gastão Maria José Pio de Orleans e Bragança''; born June 6, 1938) is the fifth and current monarch of [[Brazil]]. The son of Emperor Pedro III and Princess Maria of Bavaria, he is the oldest of twelve children: His siblings are Prince Eudes Maria, [[Prince Bertrand Maria of Orléans-Braganza|Prince Bertrand Maria]], Princess Isabel Maria, Prince Pedro de Alcântara Henrique, Prince Fernando Diniz, Prince Antônio João, Princess Eleonora Maria, Prince Francisco Maria, Prince Alberto Maria, Princess Maria Teresa, and Princess Maria Gabriela.

He ascended to the throne on July 5, 1981, upon the death of his father. He was coronated five days later, on July 10. His full title is His Imperial Majesty Lord Dom Luís I, by the Grace of God and Unanimous Acclamation of the People, Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil. As Emperor, he serves as the head of state as well as titular commander of the [[:Category:Military of Brazil|Brazilian armed forces]], but his duties are mainly ceremonial. However, he does exercise some powers of his own. (See [[Brazil#Monarchy|here]] for details.)

+
-
Although the Emperor cannot himself initiate legislation, he can request that the Imperial Parliament do so on his behalf. Several notable laws have been passed in this way, most notably the Prevention of Animal Cruelty Act of 1983, which banned bullfighting, dogfighting, and other "blood sports" involving animals.

-
 
+
-
The Emperor oversees what he calls a "forward looking," pragmatic foreign policy. He has, however, maintained Brazil's close relations with the West, especially with France.
+
-
 
+
-
In 2006, Brazilians celebrated the Emperor's Silver Jubilee. Millions of Brazilians flocked into the streets to show their pride in their country and love for their monarch. Luís is widely popular with the people: according to a March 2007 poll by ''Agência Brasil'', 87.5% of Brazilians thought Luís was "good or very good," 9.4% "not so good," and only 3.1% "bad or very bad."
