The Zica family is a historic Brazilian family, originating in Minas Gerais in the late 18th century.
History[edit]
After the death of Tiradentes, Mary I of Portugal ordered the murder of all his wives and sons. Tiradentes had 8 sons, with 8 different wives.[citation needed] Tiradentes's wives, afraid for their lives and the lives of their children, changed their surnames. One of his wives changed her surname to Zica. It is believed[by whom?] that the other sons never had children, meaning that the only descendants of Tiradentes are the members of the Zica family.[citation needed] The Zica family has grown since then, and owns many farms with a net worth[when?] of over a billion reals.[citation needed]
Today the government of Brazil pays indemnities to many members of the Zica family.[1]
