Francisco Manuel Homem Cristo

Francisco Manuel Homem Cristo (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.

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

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