Convenção de Évora Monte
Capitulação dos miguelistas, assinada a 26 de maio de 1834, que pôs termo à guerra civil (1832-1834) entre liberais (liderados por D. Pedro) e absolutistas (chefiados por D. Miguel). Na fase final das Lutas Liberais, após o desastroso cerco do Porto (1832-33) e da derrota da Asseiceira (16 de maio de 1834), o exército miguelista retirou para o Alentejo diante do avanço de Saldanha e do duque da Terceira.D. Miguel, apercebendo-se da fragilidade do seu exército, fruto das baixas e das deserções, reuniu um Conselho em Évora (23 de maio) e nele se deliberou pedir um armistício aos generais liberais.O general Azevedo e Lemos, comandante dos absolutistas, interpelou os generais Saldanha e Terceira com o intuito de serem discutidas as condições do armistício. Saldanha e Terceira fizeram-lhe saber que D. Pedro apenas aceitaria uma rendição incondicional. Acrescentaram ainda que as suas tropas continuariam a avançar em direção a Évora, onde estava estacionado o exército miguelista, até que este se rendesse. D. Miguel, vendo-se incapaz de prosseguir a guerra, aceitou a rendição.Os generais Saldanha e Terceira reuniram-se então com o comandante realista, na presença de John Grant, secretário da Legação Britânica em Lisboa, numa casa da povoação de Évora-Monte, onde foram definitivamente estabelecidos os termos da rendição. Ficou, entre outras disposições, estipulado o seguinte: amnistia política de todos os delitos; saída livre dos miguelistas, com livre disposição dos seus bens; conservação dos postos; saída permanente de D. Miguel de Portugal no prazo de quinze dias, e proibição de regressar à Península Ibérica; deposição e entrega das armas dos miguelistas.
