Where was Ferdinand Magellan killed?

Fernao de Magalhaes was a skilled Portuguese naval officer that first offered his services to the King of Portugal but was deemed too risky of a voyage to the West, especially when compared with the newly discovered East sea routes to India( by Vasco da Gama). Deeply disappointed he arranged an audience with the Queen of the archenemy kingdom of Spain and was eventually selected by King Carlos I to search for a westward route to the Spice Islands (biggest commodity at this time, used to preserve food and improve taste). He commanded a fleet of five vessels and headed south through the unknown to the edge of the world and to Patagonia, naming the strait of Magellan and the peaceful sea (Pacific Ocean). Despite a series of storms and mutinies, they reached the spice islands in 1521 and return home via the Indian Ocean to complete the first circumnavigation of the globe. Magalhaes did not complete the entire voyage, was killed on the beach when protecting the rear of his crewman retreat to the boats in the Philippines in 1521. Sebastian del Cano his second did complete it alongside +-20 men. . He had already reached the Malay Archipelago on previous voyages at the service of Portugal. He was the first European to log the Penguin (Magellanic penguin) and his legacy is felt in the universe thru the Magellanic Clouds(dwarf galaxies)and Lunar and Martian craters, etc.

Bonus question for me as I am from the Philippines and I have visited the place where Magellan was killed.

base in our history magellan was killed by the battle of Lapu -lapu in Mactan Cebu thiers is no others story behind this......thats too interesting what pinpao revealed

One of the leaders of Filipino people in that period and nation heroes of Philippines is Lapu Lapu.

proud cebuana here

... and to think that more people through the ages have been killed and tortured in the name of religion than for any other reason. Hard to believe, but true nonetheless.

question. i wash always taught Magellan was the first to circumnavigate the world but if he died 3/4 of the way around it hows that qualify as doing it.

Ferdinand Magellan was been killed by one of Lapu Lapu man named alias Bato.

Fernão de Magalhães é português, caralho!

James, no..he became a hero..

A foreigner should never get involved in a war between tribes. His friends weren't very loyal to him.

most the answer is among Philippine...

Comment copied from the British newspaper The guardian. I read that Magellan was guilty of what we would now describe as war crimes. The Filipinos attacked him in self defence.

For centuries Magellan's name has has been written in the stars. Two satellite galaxies of our own Milky Way, which sparkle conspicuously over the southern hemisphere, are labelled the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Now astronomers want to erase this celestial distinction. They say that Magellan, the 16th century Portuguese sailor, was a murderer who enslaved and burned down the homes of Indigenous peoples during his leadership of the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe. They insist his name should no longer be honoured by being associated with the clouds.

lapu lapu killed magellan

CajunSpirit, his crew completed the circumnavigation

I am pilipino I don't know about that because Im from Philippine Luzon Manila Quezon City part.

i studed this

I don't like Ferdinand Magellan

Magellan was a skilled naval officer an excellent swordman using Kamplian's unique double-tipped blade but did not succeed against Lapu Lapu's heavy sword.

Me before entering the question: aw it's 2 difficulty im gonna lose Me in the question: wait Ferdinand Magellan? obviously Philippines 🇵🇭 Me after answering question correctly: well that was easy :)

They say lapulapu is a Tausog warrior send by the sultan to look after the incursion of foreigners in the island near cebu. Datu Iliji is also referred to as cilapulapu.

I studied about this and I'm from the correct country.

Whoever thought that this guy got killed in Brazil, should re-read the history books. Brazil is nowhere near The Philippines. And yes, these people have brown skill, but so are we Filipinos are also brown too. but we're surrounded by waters. he died by the beach, you can see on the painting.

Ginamos, 'tol ayos !
