1466‐1530 Portuguese navigator and soldier. Born in Alandroal in central Portugal. He entered the royal service in 1481 and steadily rose through the ranks, until he was appointed commander of a fleet of four ships bound for India in 1508. After arriving in India in 1509, he was ordered by Almeida, the first Governor-General (Viceroy) of India, to attack the Malacca Sultanate on the Malay Peninsula, but was surprised by the local inhabitants and failed to occupy the kingdom. He returned to Portugal in 1510. In 1516, he rescued the Portuguese fortress of Alzira in Morocco from Islamic forces at Fez, and in 1517 he again led a fleet off the coast of Morocco.
