Munson & The Geeza 🇵🇹☕

Good Morning Portugal! 🇵🇹☕

Today’s **Portugal Club Quiz** dives into a dramatic and lesser-known chapter of Portuguese history.

On this day in 1915, a revolutionary junta launched a bloody uprising that ended the short-lived **Dictatorship of the Swords** - a turbulent four-month military-led government during the unstable early years of the Portuguese Republic.

Carl tells the story of the respected general and engineer who was appointed Prime Minister to restore order… only for it all to end in violence.

Who was the man at the heart of the “Dictatorship of the Swords”?

We’re looking at two absolute legends from 1968 at Estádio da Luz: - The **Queen of one ‘F’** (she could make the entire stadium weep with emotion) - The **King of the other ‘F’** (he could make the entire stadium roar with joy)

Together they represent two of Portugal’s most famous “F”s… but what is the **third ‘F’** that completes the trio?

Drop your guess in the comments (and tell us who you think the Queen and King are!).
