Brazilian nobility refers to the titled Nobility nobles and fidalgo families of Brazil , which began in the early 19th century during Colonial Brazil and lasted until the end of the Empire of Brazil in 1889.

Some of the nobles were direct descendants of the Portuguese nobility, and even of the high nobility, especially the families that arrived during the first centuries of the colonization of Bahia , Sergipe , Pernambuco , Rio de Janeiro and S o Paulo . The elevation of Brazil to the status of monarchy kingdom , under the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves , in 1815, led to the creation of the first Brazilian noble titles. With the Brazilian Declaration of Independence Independence of Brazil from Portugal in 1822, the Empire of Brazil established its own nobility. It was constituted of the titles of Duke , Marquis , Count , Viscount and Baron and by Order decoration honorific orders , Civil awards and decorations decorations , and medals. Between 1831 and 1840, there were nominations to titles and honors, on account of the Regency Law, a constitutional correction approved during the Trine Provisional Regency.
