September 2022 marks the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation of the globe by the expedition led by Ferdinand Magellan (Fernando de Magallanes/Fernão de Magalhães), and completed by Juan Sebastian Elcano- and it should be mentioned, a young slave boy by the name of Henry (Enrique) of Malacca. The story of how the spurned Portuguese Captain went to work for the Spanish is full of court intrigue, international espionage, daring exploits and narrow escapes; but also one of tragic blunders, mutiny and betrayal. Underscoring the fierce competition between Spain and Portugal for naval supremacy and a trade monopoly to the Orient is also the drama of East-West confrontation; the demise of Islamic hegemony and the emergence of European global economic & military dominance and a clash of cultures that changed the face of the world forever.

This is wonderful. Stops to explain even the legends of the Saints that things were named after. I remember being taught in school about the circumnavigation. Later on as I worked in the world, I figured that that was probably an interesting adventure story, but I didn't have time to look into it. And here, on youtube, I finally get much of the adventure story and its details for the first time. And I find the truism true enough: "adventure' can best be defined as "some one else having a gosh-awful time of things."

The first world explorers were Ambonese or Moluccans who were experts in navigation and could speak Portuguese, Spanish, English and Malay, Maluku part of Indonesia, when Enrique sailed from Maluku to Demak Java, Palembang Sumatra, Malacca then met Ferdinand Magellan Sailor from Portugal in Philippines in 1509, and then they submitted a proposal to the King of Spain First Carlos, to look for spice islands, namely the Maluku Islands which became the territory of several small Islamic kingdoms (Tidore, Ternate, Jailolo and Bacan) where Enrique came from and was the center of the world's spice trade, although in the interior of Java is also full of spices but because it is not easy to reach by merchant ships, which were under the rule of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom as the successor to the Demak Kingdom. Then after sailing for so long they sailed to the South Philippines, where there was a war with a small kingdom in the South Philippines and caused Magellan to be killed, who was then buried in the Philippines. After everything calmed down, Enrique continued the expedition and sailed according to the proposal submitted to King Carlos, and up to the Moluccas to return to Spain. In many writings by Europeans who say that the first Man was Magellan, even though he had died in the Philippines before the expedition was completed, and Enrique who completed it. Even Professor Biographers from the Philippines himself also claimed that Enrique was a Filipino, with the nickname Henry del Negro. Malaysia also claims to be a Malaysian with the name Panglima Awang, even though it actually looks odd, how can Ambonese with distinctive black skin be recognized as Malaysian or Filipino??? This is a correction so that history is not distorted for the sake of a nation's popularity, but contains lies, or falsity. History must tell the facts of the truth of past events

@Mas Man Informationally pre-Spanish invasion There was a large contingency of Aboriginal (Black) Filipinos still roaming around pretty damn freely. One could shirk the restraints of European-based thought processes,i.e, Black people are found in Africa exclusively, etc. Malay,Melanesia, Malaysia=Black. All aberrative of the Latin for melanin. How would someone like myself know of this you ask as most do? Hated for it in the Philippines but I am proud of my heritage of being one.....

@Mas Man I guess you never received the memo as most haven't that Enrique was in evidence an Aboriginal Filipino, a Black Filipino or in the language 'Aeta' the only pure blood Filipino not having been meztisoized by Spain at least as China had played a big part previous to Spanish invasion. One could do better in educating themselves in how peoples have changed over time and what we see now is not what form existed pre-"Age of Exploration " times. I as well as my spouse are extremely close to the Aeta bloodlines although not pure Aeta we do have the knowledge of having that cultural base.

Do better you have shown that you can.

Ok folks, here's one for all my Spanish and Portuguese viewers who took umbrage with my James Cook video. In honour of the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation of the world, I thought I would make a video on the Magellan-Elcano voyage. Hopefully my Iberian friends will find it suitably recognises their maritime achievements. Enjoy! (P.s. As I'm a solo creator without a support team, mistakes are quite possible. Corrections are always welcome: please see the Erratum below and in the description section: ERRATA / CORRIGENDA: 01:45 Image is of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, not Magellan (the same picture recurs on occasion within the thousand or so 5 second clips). Addendum: some commentators have cited "the Black Legend / Leyenda Negra" (anti-Catholic anti-Spanish protestant British propaganda) as core to this video. FTR I'm neither AngloSaxon nor protestant. There is a good wikipedia article on the subject of the "Black Legend" but i will just reproduce part of the quote here for those interested: "Historians disagree on whether the Black Legend exists as a genuine factor in current discourse around Spain and its history. In recent years a group of historians including Alfredo Alvar, Ricardo García Cárcel and Lourdes Mateo Bretos have argued that the Black Legend does not currently exist beyond Spanish society’s own perception of how the world views Spain’s legacy. According to Carmen Iglesias, the Black Legend consists of negative traits which the Spanish people see in themselves and is shaped by political propaganda."

Thank you very much Professor Santiago for this fascinating lecture. I just watched an enthralling documentary from the Franco-German TV channel Arte on "the incredible journey of Magellan", featuring i.a. Enrique de Malacca's role. As an interpreter myself, was curious to know more about Enrique, whether he was surprised he was able to communicate with people in Cebu, what it must have been like for him to realize he had circumnavigated the world and was back to Southeast Asia, the region where he was born. Having watched your lecture, I now want to learn even more!

😊so interesting, the voyage of Magellan...touch by divine intervention... And if not for the matter of spices,that the EUROPEAN s needed so lot... The archipelago of the Philippines for today must be in dominance of Muslim society...but GOD used an illiterate teenager to be an interpreter to the natives of SUGBU(CEBU)😅ln factMagellan's experience in the islands of thieves (Marianas and Guam)still haunted him down and serve as an specter to them not to be very confident to anybody....specially to an strangers...Thier goal was to found a route for the spices islands and not to conquer or subdued anyone...but due to circumstances and God's divine plan.....Young ENRIQUE ....understand what the natives vernacular intety,CEBUANO...and immediately he exchange talk to the natives at Thier bancas while the boy is still overboard from the deck of 5he gallion... Because of this,Magellan openly express in full understanding to theRAJAS and whole of his subjects and convincing them to 😊embrace Christianity,,,because there is a way,,connecting bridge to communicate well truENRIQUE....Question?????without this boy ,for the 1st time of meeting between the EUROPEAN s and the natives of CEBU....shall they adopt and be convinced to what they believe?NEVER because of communication barriers...Who was ENRIOUE???????this boy is the bridges why we know JESUS CHRIST and made the Phil. The only Christian nation in S.E. ASIA In fact is no longer an illeterate due to his experiences..HE spoke Portuguese,Spanish,Catalan andCEBUANO...he is the 1st. Man to circum na avigate the whole world...WHY?????? CEBUANO speaking areas Covered Several parts of the country.. .The young boy was a victim of a marauder that plunged Thier seashore and taken them to the MOLLUCAS then to GOA, INDIA...after a long process via Cape of Good Hope...upward to Africa ,reaching PORTUGAL and sold as a slave....to which MAGELLAN keen plan to collect authentic people which he really needed on his voyage ..and miraculously it works tru to this boy... Without HIM there would be no Filipino ,no PHILIPPINES and the people of this islands should be MUSLIM nowadays.....No exact location from this boy was originated,but he always recalled they lived by the seaside...somewhere else no one knows but the only sure one is....WE OWED ALOT TO THIS BOY...,, And before we depart,l want to recorrect the date of discovery by the EUROPEAN on this Island ln the textbook in the Phil. History it was MARCH 16 1521. But international dateline during those period was unknown,therefore today we will adjust 1 day so.

I like how the documentary takes time to explain why PH chieftains are called Raja and explains how Indian trade made its way east to Indonesia and beyond. The Raja term is an Indian influence as a result of trade. This is something a lot of documentaries wouldn't bother to explain. There are a couple of other instances where a brief explanation is given to give the viewer a better understanding of how the present situation came to be. As a Filipino, I'm always alert to history related to Magellan. This is the best one I've seen so far!! I've learned so much more about Magellan's circumnavigation - the risk, hardship, politics, financing of the voyage, dangers from disease and hostile tribes, the adventure. All important aspects of this incredible adventure were touched on.

I am Mactanese and I can say this as Filipinos either Tagalog or Ilocano have been the most malinformed that I've had conversations with. One could believe that you would know better but alas, you don’t. I am Aeta through my Nanay. So I know about Puti and they do not know Jack about Philippine history at all. I can guess the source of your misinformation and it would be exactly the same here or in the P.I. and it's truly so sad especially when the same peoples aforementioned say things that place us Aboriginal Filipinos in either Pampmanga, or other Luzon locations. Informationally we Negritos-using the Spanish term from Mage**an and his co-horts are we are the first and the only PURE Filipinos (as opposed to being Meztisoized) and Asiatics. As Nonoy Luis Taruc told me personally many years ago in my Class at a major University that welcomed his visit to "Learn My History!". I did and will continue to do so in this later life of mine until my final breath. Have I mentioned to you that I am also half Black American as well through my father? No, nanay was not a war-bride or any other person of dubious distinction you may have conjured in your mind....just a regular person.

Juan Sebastián Elcano. Spanish navigator, ship-owner and explorer of Basque origin[n 2] from Getaria, part of the Crown of Castile when he was born, best known for having completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth in the Spanish ship Victoria on the Magellan expedition to the Spice Islands.[14][15][16] He received recognition for his achievement by Charles I of Spain with a coat of arms bearing a globe and the Latin motto Primus circumdedisti me (You were the first to circumnavigate me).

@@bconni2 Magellan was only portuguese born at the time of setting sail, because he renounced the portuguese allegiance and asked to be naturalized as castillian before his voyage. This is well documented. He had the vision but not the budget. Spain assumed all the cost with ships, goods, provisions, and men (which were the ones operating the ships) and last but not least, Magellan was HUNT DOWN by the portuguese only because they were at odds with spanish ships (there wasn't an official war, but sea policing was treated as such) and Elcano was also hunt down when the circumnavigated the world.

@@Miolnir3 Magellan was a war hero for the Portuguese nobility for their wars in Morocco and the Indian ocean. he was a decorated knight for the military order of Christ, which was based in Portugal. this wasn't unusual at this time, because of Portugal's small population, out of necessity most of their highly skilled navigators were also trained military men . they were like Swiss army knifes, in that could do most anything. but just like Columbus, Magellan went to the Portuguese crown first, but he renounced his allegiance to his home nation because they wouldn't finance his proposed expedition. but don't forget, it was Magellan who crushed the mutiny off the coast of modern day Argentina. had he failed to foil that mutiny, the entire venture is over and Elcano dies in obscurity. FM was the one who relentlessly pushed the expedition into uncharted waters when the rest of the crew begged the return to Europe. Magellan was in command for most of the expedition in which they sailed into the unknown, were as Elcano took the reins and navigated back home using existing Portuguese shipping lanes. i'm not taking anything away from Elcano. his bravery was incredible, as it must have been unbelievably stressful avoiding the Portuguese on his return voyage. knowing if captured, the horrors that awaited him and his men.

You are mistaken. Magalhães was not only Portuguese by birth. He was a seasoned sailor wish fought with the Portuguese fleets. He participated in the wars for the control of the Indian Ocean. That was why he expected king D. Manuel I to honor him in a way the king did not. That was why he went to the Spanish king. You are again mistaken about the financing of the trip. This trip was extremely expensive and was mainly financed by merchants from Flandres in exchange for future trade. Magalhães went to the extent of choosing absolutely everything that was loaded in each ship for the survival of the crews. Antonio Pigafeta kept the journal of the trip wish was a good thing, otherwise Spain, with Magalhães dead, would have "painted" the trip as their only doing. The other leg of the trip was already known. Spain never discovered anything. Spain went to the conquest of South America, continent that was discovered by another Portuguese, Colombo. He was probably born in Cuba (town on the South of Portugal) reason why he gave that name to one of the islands.@@Miolnir3

Great work. Chapeau! The Portuguese love their explorers. In Lisbon, Vasco da Gama is the main man. He has bridges, shopping malls and avenidas named after him. The Monument to the Discoveries is epic with Henry the Navigator leading the way. But Fernão de Magalhães is almost no where to be found, except for a small statue in the middle of an intersection called Praça do Chile in Arroios. He stands with one foot on a canon, facing south towards the Tagus. He's literally hidden in plain sight. The Portuguese 🇵🇹 never forgave him for defecting to Spain 🇪🇸. The rivalry will outlast eternity. Also interesting... The word maluco means crazy or insane in Portuguese. I wonder if it's at all derivitive of the Malucas, aka the Spice Islands. After all, men like Magellan lost their minds on their quest to reach the Malucas.

This is wonderful work on explorers AND CLASH of muslim/ christian civilisations. Stops to explain even the legends of the Saints that things were named after. I remember being taught in school about the circumnavigation. Later on as I worked in the world and travelled around during UN DEPUTATION, I figured that that was probably an interesting adventure story, but I didn't have time to look into it. And here, on youtube, I finally get much of the adventure story and its details for the first time. And I find the truism true enough: "adventure' can best be defined as "some one else having a gosh-awful time of things."

This is a great documentary! Just one clarification: the basque navigators were Castilian, including Juan Sebastian Elcano. Yes, they were also Basque. This is because the geographic area, which we today call Basque Country was fully part of the Castilian Kingdom. It’s is worth noting that the kingdom of Navarre (one of the newly incorporated realms to the Spanish monarchy during the Catholic monarchs time) included some of the old areas considered basque. However, all of the basque navigators from the modern exploration times came from the Castilian crown because Navarre was a landlocked kingdom with no access to sea.

Magellan in my opinion is the true GOAT captain of open sea navigation, his sagacity and observation skills combined with his resolute leadership strike a very good balance between being a skillful navigator and also having an unbreakable and daring exploratory spirit. Even though he was not able to finish the circumnavigation expedition of 1519-1522, if we take in consideration his previous expedition to Asia traveling East, he basically completed a personal circumnavigation of the globe, probably the first person to do so. It's satisfactory that some celestial bodies that he helped to register now carries his name as homage, Magellanic Clouds sounds cool, and it's a fair recognition to one of the greatest names in modern history.

Nope; Magellan has been exalted by The British and Portugeese by using a lot of lies about him. And lies againts Spain, which were the bankers of the voyage. All lies againts Spain and exalting Columbus and Magellan. Which both lied to Spain about how easy or possible the voyage was going to be. Liars. Columbus got lucky, but Magellan was killed for been an arrogant LIAR and doing a stupid way of fighting that cost him his life. DelCano decided to CIRCUMNAVIGATE. Magelland didnt want that. So DelCano is to be credited, not LIAR MAGELLAN.

Great comment ... I was a kid while living on Pico island in the Azores, our elders spoke highly of this Portuguese hero & also spoke of how he was murdered along with his supporters (who were a mix of mostly Portuguese & Spanish) by ElCano on orders from Spain before their voyage departure , this was to take place as soon as it was surly known that they had reached familiar waters which Ferdinand had previously put on his charts from previous voyages years earlier.. ElCano had no choice but to kill Ferdinand or he would have rotten in a Spanish prison for having sold some ships to other countries who were at odds with Spain , the ultimatum was murder Ferdinand or rote in prison , so El Cano chose life by taking another's life.... conclusion there is no way in hell Ferdinand supporters on those ships would have allowed him to enter that battle while so greatly out numbered regardless of how brave of a man he was they would have kept him on the ship, Ferdinand was still to valuable to their voyage , but they did not know that Ferdinand's charts & journals had already been stolen by ElCanos men .. After almost 50 years of looking for evidence to confirm what the elders told us most of what I found confirms his murder by not only Elcano but by Spain itself,.. so yes to me this has to be one of the biggest unpunished crimes in human history ... Fernão de Magalhães (Ferdinand Magellan) was - is one of the greatest heroes of not just Portugal but the world, that voyage changed how we saw our planet & many countries - cultures have benefited greatly from it till today & unfortunately some cultures not so much that is obvious also...

I assume it's from this masterful Portuguese seaman where the outdoor clothing company Magellan got it's namesake. Good brand. And an interesting documentary. Thanks

Your videos contain a plethora of information; I learn so much by watching them. I'm wondering if you're planning to do any videos about women heroes (other than Joan of Arc), particularly, the Trung sisters, Queen Teuta, Delores Heurta, or early Black women civil rights fighters like Dorothy Height. It's difficult if not impossible to find books about them.

Upon completing the first underwater circumnavigation of the globe, the U.S. first nuclear submarine, Nautilus, released a sealed capsule into the ocean. Inside that capsule is the message "Hail, noble captain, it is done again."

Sorry to burst the bubble of the malinformed but your boy Maggie didn't accomplish that lie. He's buried where he got chopped into pieces right on the spot where he fell at the hands of Lapu-Lapu the Chieftain of Cebu and his ever-trusted Sword of Retribution when he attempted the usual acts of arrogance that accompanied these 'explorers'. So take the bow even though you and your crew still weren't the first by no means-i take it that none around here or there know that the Admiral Jung He ( yep, China !) and his Great Fleet, which they were had truly circumnavigated the ENTIRE PLANET in the period between 1440-1445 c.e. long before Colum*us and subsequently Mage**an DIDN'T accomplish? No, due to bias and Tunnel Visionary Practices one should be safe and believe not.

@@magellankiller I was referring to the Nautilus. It was not a comment on historical accuracy. By the way, you can correct the historical record without bitterness and hate, which are corrosive to the soul. The Western world at the time had a relatively narrow world view--but, really, so did the Chinese (to whom the West owes rather more than we often mention).

@JoAnn Leichliter Thanks but no thanks to your admonishment. Although first we seem to concur that Medieval Chinas' accomplishment of achieving what erroneously was handed to Mage**an just with no investigation whatsoever assumedly. The jury is still in investigative mode on whether or not the maritime vessels of Mansa Musa King of 13th century Mali were seaworthy enough to travel to places beyond their voyages to the Americas at that time as well.....

you hire translators. also, the jesuit priests were the most educated men of Europe and firmly believed that "knowledge is power", so made it a point to learn the local languages and how to manipulate local leaders. They're the ones that managed to convert Japanese warlords to Christianity and turn them against each other. Also, I didn't mean to come off like a jerk in that first sentence if you come back to this. I'm a white American that became really good at Arabic in a short amount of time. I can't count to save my life but I'm good at languages that no one near me speaks lol Being exposed to so many languages must have resulted in a few impressive linguists since travel was so slow. Also, stealing a guy and teaching him Portuguese or Spanish wasn't unheard of.

On Magellan's first trip, he sailed Southward through the Cape of Africa, then Eastward to what is today's Indonesia-Malaysia. In Malacca, he acquired a slave Henrique (Bought?), He spoke Cebuano and was very instrumental in interpreting the subsequent events for Pigafetta, on Magellan's second trip to the Orient, he landed on Cebu. On his second trip he sailed the Pacific which he named because of smooth sailing. Many historians concluded that Henrique was home and had circumnavigated the world as a Passenger. The explorer was killed in a skirmish with a local chieftain in April 1521. Henrique lived to get back to Spain and served Magellan's widow as chief slave (Major Domo) the rest of his life.

Enrique de malacca is a slave from malacca Just stick to that and no need to add cebuano or whatsoever.. Cebuano itself is new language.. Amalgamation from many spanish loanwords Back in the day, the lingua franca is malay language. The language of malacca. That is why despite minority of indonesia is malay, the language they use as bahasa indonesia is malay language as its the trade language of the whole archipelago

And like a ignorant Portuguese keep not understanding that these badly researched documentaries keep downplaying our Countries’ epic History. It was Magellan that did all the work. The other guys just returned the packet home which anyone could have done. And you should be really mad about Colombo, aka Goncalves Zarco its true name and a Portuguese noble
