Maria da Fonte, or revolution of the Minho, is the name given to a popular revolt that occurred in the spring of 1846 against the cartista Government presided by António Bernardo da Costa Cabral, due to new military recruitment laws, fiscal alterations and the prohibition to carry out burials inside churches. The revolt began in Póvoa de Lanhoso and quickly spread from the North of the country. A woman of the people named Maria, a native of the parish of Fonte Arcada, has started this riot therefore became known by the nickname of Maria da Fonte. The Government of Cabral would eventually be removed from Office.
