Duque de Caxias, o patrono do exército brasileiro

Today I will tell the story of a man who fought to defend Brazil from external and internal threats, from independence until almost the end of the empire, both on the battlefield and in politics. He was called The Peacemaker, The First Sword of the Empire, and Brazil's Greatest Soldier. But for most people, he was simply The Duke, because there was no other: he was the only person outside the imperial family to receive this title in Brazil. This honor shows how much the Duke of Caxias was admired in his time, and that admiration continues. So much so that he was chosen as the patron saint of the Brazilian army.
