ThePatuleia,Guerra da Patuleia, orLittle Civil War was acivil war inPortugal, so called to distinguish it from the 'great' civil war betweenDom Pedro andDom Miguel that ended in 1834. The Patuleia occurred after theRevolution of Maria da Fonte, and was closely associated with her. It was caused by the nomination, as a result of thepalace coup of 6 October 1846, known as the "Emboscada", to set up a clearlyCartista government presided over by marshalJoão Oliveira e Daun, Duque de Saldanha.
The war lasted 8 months, pitting the Cartistas (with the support of QueenMaria II) against an unnatural coalition ofSeptembrists andMiguelists. The focus of resistance to the new government was the Septembrist 'Junta ofPorto', whose military leader, theFirst Count of Bonfim, was defeated by Marshal Saldanha at the siege ofTorres Vedras on 22–23 December 1846, and sent into exile inAngola. The war ended in a clear Cartista victory, as shown in the signing of the resultingConvention of Gramido on 30 June 1847, but only just, after the intervention of foreign military forces of theQuadruple Alliance.
