Miguel Bombarda

Miguel Augusto Bombarda (6 March 1851 – 3 October 1910) was a Portuguese physician, psychiatrist, and politician. He is perhaps most widely remembered as one of the major conspirators of the 5 October 1910 revolution, although he was shot and killed the day before the coup took place by one of his patients, Aparício Rebelo dos Santos.
