Francisco Manuel Homem Cristo

Francisco Manuel Homem Christo (8 March 1860 – 25 February 1943) was a Portuguese military and political republican. He was distinguished as one of the officers of the Portuguese Army involved in the events surrounding the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1891.[1]

Accused of having betrayed the republican ideals in 1910, he found himself forced into exile in France.

His son was an admirer of Benito Mussolini and fascism, who died in Rome, in 1928, victim of an automobile accident.[2]

He was a great-great-grandfather of Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo, one half of the electronic music duo Daft Punk.[3]
