Five hundred years ago, Ferdinand Magellan began a historic journey to circumnavigate the globe. Simple, right? Not really— the explorer and his voyage are a study in contradiction. Magellan was Portuguese, but sailed on behalf of Spain. He was a formidable captain, but his crew hated him. His expedition was the first to sail around the world, but he didn’t end up circling the globe himself. His name wasn’t even Magellan. a beaded man wearing a dark red hat Like Columbus before him, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan proposed reaching Asia and the Moluccas, or Spice Islands, by sailing west from Europe. DE AGOSTINI PICTURE LIBRARY/M. SEEMULLER/BRIDGEMAN IMAGES Nonetheless, it’s clear that Ferdinand Magellan’s 1519 expedition changed the world forever. His journey was “the greatest sea voyage ever undertaken, and the most significant,” says historian Laurence Bergreen, author of Over the Edge of the World: Magellan’s Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe. “That’s not hyperbole.” Brutal, bellicose, and brave, Magellan turned a commercial voyage into a hair-raising showdown with a wide world few Europeans could imagine. At the beginning of his journey, his contemporaries suspected it was impossible to sail around the entire globe—and feared that everything from sea monsters to killer fogs awaited anyone foolhardy enough to try. “It sounded suicidal to do this,” says Bergreen. The Portuguese nobleman was born Fernão de Magalhães around 1480. As a page to queen consort Eleanor and Manuel I, he experienced court life in Lisbon. But the young man had a sense of adventure, and took part in a string of Portuguese voyages designed to discover and seize lucrative spice routes in Africa and India. At the time, Portugal and Spain were involved in an intense rivalry to see who could find and claim new territory where they could source the spices coveted by European aristocrats. In 1505, Magellan joined the fight, traveling to India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. But his days in service to Portugal were numbered: He was accused of illegal trading and fell out with Manuel I, who turned down his proposal to locate a new spice route. Magellan was convinced that by sailing west instead of east and going through a rumored strait through South America, he could map a new route to Indonesia and India. So he abandoned his Portuguese loyalty and headed to Spain, where he gained both citizenship and Charles V’s blessing for a five-ship journey westward. The captain stood to gain great wealth and status from the trip: Charles gave him a decade-long monopoly on any route he might discover, a cut of the profits, and a noble title to boot. But he was in an awkward position when it came to his majority-Spanish crew and his royal mission. “The Castilians resented sailing under a Portuguese commander and the Portuguese considered him a traitor,” writes historian Lincoln Paine.

2. Objectives:
At the end of the lecture, we should able to:
i. Understand the history of Antonio Pigafetta’s first voyage
around the world
ii. Name the ships they used to circumnavigate the world and
iii. Classify the driving factors of European exploration
iv. Summarize the main accomplishments of the first voyage
of Pigafetta and Magellan during the time exploration

3. Back ground of Antonio Pigafetta
 Venetians Scholar and explorer
from the republic of venice
 Parents are Gionvanni Pigafetta
and Angela Zoga
 The eldest child his siblings of 2
 Travelled with the Portuguese
explorer. Ferdinand Magellan
and his crew by the order of King
Charles of Spain on their voyage
around the world.
 One of the survivors of the
expedition.

4. King Manuel
 By now an experienced seaman, Magellan approached
King Manuel of Portugal to seek his support for a
westward voyage to the Spice Island. The king refused his
petition repeatedly. In 1517, a frustrated Magellan
renounced his Portuguese Nationality and relocated to
Spain to seek royal support for his venture.
King Charles
 King Charles granted his support to Magellan, who in
turn promised the young king that his westward sea
voyage would bring immeasurable riches to Spain.

5. Background of Ferdinand Magellan
 Born on February 3, 1480, in Sabrosa,
Portugal, he died on April 15, 1521.
 Rodrigo de Magalhes is his father, and
Alda de Mesquita is his mother.
 Portuguese explorer who organized the
Spanish expedition to the east indies from
1519-1522 to search the western route to
the Maluku island (spice island) resulting
to the first circumnavigation of earth
completed by Juan Sebastian Elcano.

6. Ancient people were scared to explore the world
because of:

7. The 3 main reason of Exploration
Economic
One of the major
motivating factors in the
European Age of
Exploration was the search
for direct access to the
highly lucrative Eastern
spice trade. In the 15th
century, spices came to
Europe via the Middle East
land and sea routes, and
spices were in huge
demand both for Food
dishes and use in
medicines.
Political
In the 15th century, Europe
sought to expand trade routes
to find new sources of wealth
and any newly found lands.
This European Age of
Discovery saw the rise of
colonial empires on a global
scale, building, a commercial
network that connected Europe,
Asia Africa and the New World.
Religious
Spanish missionaries
carried Catholics to the
New World and the
Philippines establishing
various mission in the
newly colonized lands. The
missions served as a base
for both administering
colonies as well as
spreading Christianity.

11. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set
sail from Spain in an effort to find a
western route to the rich Spice Islands
of Indonesia. In command of five ships
and 270 men, Magellan sailed to West
Africa and then to Brazil, where he
searched the South American coast for a
strait that would take him to the Pacific.

12. Magellan started the
exploration with 270
crews
(60 CREW)
During Ferdinand Magellan's expedition,
the ship involved in a mutiny and whose
crew members were involved in a rebellion
against Magellan's leadership was the San
Antonio.
The San Antonio, one of the five ships in
Magellan's fleet, played a key role in the
mutiny led by the Spanish captain Juan de
Cartagena.
The ship that betrayed Ferdinand
Magellan during his expedition and returned
to Spain without completing the
circumnavigation was the "San Antonio."

13. Magellan started the
exploration with 270
crews
The Santiago was sent to
explore a possible shortcut during
the expedition, but it was
separated from the rest of the fleet
and lost. The exact circumstances
of its loss are not entirely clear.
The Santiago did not complete
the circumnavigation, and its
specific fate is unknown.

14. (44 CREW)
The Conception was burned and left in the
Philippines after the death of Magellan and the
skirmish with the indigenous peoples.Due to the
extent of the damage and the ship's deteriorating
condition, Magellan made the decision to
abandon the Concepción.

PACIFICUS (Latin Word)
means tranquil or Calm
Also known as “PACIFIC
OCEAN”

16.  March 6, 1521 the landed on
Guam.
 500 A.D Chamorro people of
Malay origin, migrated to Guam.
1521 Ferdinand Magella of
Portugal, called it “Isla de
Ladrones” (Island of Thieves)
because islanders took whatever
they could from his ship as
payment for the food and water
they had given the crew.

17.  Magellan and his crew
dropped anchor off the
uninhabited Homonhon Island,
then known as Humumu, on
March 16, 1521, where they
stayed for eight days before
proceeding with their journey
to what is now known as
Philippines.

18.  On March 29, 1521, or
two days before the iconic
scene of the Easter Sunday
Mass, the “Kasi-Kasi” was
conducted between the
traveler Magellan and Rajah
Kolambu, king of
Limasawa, and Kasi-kasi
meant blood compact
signifying brotherhood.

19.  Magellan planted a cross to signify the important event about the
propagation of the Roman Catholic faith in what is now Cebu, in central
Philippines. The original cross is reputedly encased in another wooden cross
for protection, as people started chipping it away in the belief that it had
miraculous healing powers.

20.  On April 7, 1521
Magellan and his crews landed on
Cebu island, a native chief, Rajah
Humabon, met and befriended
him. Rajah Humabon, his wife and
hundreds of his native warriors
agreed to accept Christianity and
were consequently baptized.

21.  Rajah Humabon and Datu Zula
suggested that Magellan go to the
island of Mactan and force his
subject chieftain Datu Lapu- lapu
to comply with his orders.
Magellan saw an opportunity to
strengthen the existing friendship
ties with the ruler of the Visaya
region and agreed to help him
subdue the rebellious Lapu- lapu.

22. APRIL 27, 1521
 The warriors of Lapu lapu, one of the Datus of Mactan, overpowered and
defeated a Spanish force fighting for Rajah Humabon of Cebu under the command
of Portuguese explorer Ferdinan Magellan, who was killed in the battle.

23. The Trinidad did not complete the
circumnavigation due to its separation
from the Victoria, challenges faced during
the journey, and the unsuccessful attempt
to return to Spain through the Pacific.
The specific fate of the Trinidad is not
entirely clear, but it is believed that the
ship was either wrecked or abandoned. It
did not complete the circumnavigation.

24. September 6, 1522
 After Magellan’s death, his crew continued in the
single ship that remained, captained by Juan Sebastian
Elcano, a Basque. They returned to Spain in Setpember
1522. Along the way, they had encountered a new ocean,
mapped new routes for European trade, and set the stage
for modern globalism.

25.  The Victoria, captained by Juan Sebastian Elcano,
finally returned to Spain by September 6, 1522,
completing the circumnavigation. 270 men who left with
the expedition, only 18 survivors returned.

26. Legacy and Contributions:
Magellan's expedition had a profound
impact on our understanding of global
geography, confirming the Earth's roundness
and opening new maritime routes.
The voyage paved the way for subsequent
explorations and trade routes, shaping the
course of world history.

27. The voyage of Ferdinand Magellan is a testament to
human courage, determination, and the spirit of
exploration. Despite the adversities faced, the
expedition achieved a historic milestone in proving the
possibility of circumnavigating the Earth. Magellan's
legacy endures as a symbol of the relentless pursuit of
knowledge and discovery.
