- Authors
Jiménez Abollado, Francisco Luis
- Abstract
his work aims to rescue one of the survivors of the first trip that went around the world in the Magallanes-Elcano expedition, Ocasio Alonso, a native of Bollullos del Condado, in the current province of Huelva. Thanks to the file “Probanza de la posesión del Maluco. Badajoz, 1524”, located in the section Patronato of the General Archive of the Indies, we can access your testimony as a member of that expedition. The document aims to clarify the possession of the Maluco Islands during the Castilian-Portuguese conflict by controlling the domains of the Especiería. Ocasio Alonso became one of the witnesses presented by the Spanish imperial crown. In addition to this transcript which will serve us to meet the character and his participation in this historic milestone, we will also follow him through other adventures that occurred during the crossing and that have been collected in chronicles and works carried out to praise and publicize the circumnavigating deed.
