As from 1792, he assumes the capacity, because of the mental disease of his mother (perhaps due to Porphyrie S). He was high in an ecclesiastical atmosphere and, being consequently of a somewhat low and timid nature, he was not capable to honor the responsibilities which were to him rained late entrusted. As from 1799 and until its access to the throne, João controlled the country as regent, in the name of his mother. It had to face diplomatic difficulties growing with the Spain and the France: in 1801, short the " War of Oranges" burst between the Spain and Bonaparte. At the conclusion of the treaty of Badajoz, the Portugal yields the town of Olivença to the Spain. The pressures of France are accentuated with the continental blockade issued by Napoleon 1st against the United Kingdom, ally traditional of the Portugal. The Jean regent tries to find a compromise with France, but its constant hesitations push finally Napoleon to decide the invasion of the Portugal by Junot in 1807 (Traité of Fontainebleau). The Portuguese royal family embarks for the Brésil and settles in the capital of the viceroyalty, Rio de Janeiro, which becomes the capital of the colonial Empire Portuguese.

On its return, as he had promised, he accepts the Constitution of 1822 and the government formed during his absence.
