One of his first acts was to intimate his adherence to the Grand Alliance, which his father had joined in 1703. In October 1708 he married Maria Anna, daughter of Leopold I, thus strengthening the alliance with Austria; the series of unsuccessful campaigns which ensued ultimately terminated in a favorable peace with France in 1713 and with Spain in 1715. The rest of his long reign was characterized by royal subservience to the clergy, the kingdom being administered by ecclesiastical persons and for ecclesiastical objects to an extent that gave him the best of rights to the title "Most Faithful King", bestowed upon him and his successors by a bull of Pope Benedict XIV in 1748. João V died on the 31st of July 1750, and was succeeded by his son Joseph.On May-08-12 at 12:34:02 PDT, seller added the following information:Answer to question on bent metal top: The shaping of the metal topper is consistent with a common practice of the day. If someone decided to put aside etiquette and drink straight from the bottle, they would bend down the sharp edges of the metal, to decrease the chance of cutting their lip. If you take a close look at the shaping of this top, you can see where the owner crimped down one side more than the other to shape it for drinking.
