Salutations, visitors and all you history fans. You've just reached the site of Ferdinand Magellan, the well-known Portuguese maritime explorer known in history. He is infamous as if though nobody bothered to know this name. But as you explore around, you may find information about this explorer, who was actually the first to "circumnavigate" the globe, proving Christopher Columbus's theory to be accurate that the world is indeed round nonetheless. He is understandable for sailing his final, westward voyage.
His last journey to the East Indies however, was successful but not for himself. Only Magellan's crew made it out alive, while he himself was killed when they landed on the Philippine Islands. It was an unfortunate moment for an explorer, who is not trusted among the royal community. Please feel free to navigate around as you want, to understand how this character is known in our history.
