La Argentina c .1610). It has been suggested that he was left there by a secret voyage of BARTOLOMEU DIAS (q.v.) , which touched on the coast of Brazil in 1498. On the advice of the Bacharel, and inspired by reports from the 1524 expedition of ALEJO GARCIA (q.v.) , Sousa sent Pêro Lobo and Chaves inland from Cananeia with forty arquebusiers and forty crossbowmen, leaving in September 1531. Chaves, who claimed to have crossed South America and visited Peru, promised to return in ten months with 400 slaves loaded with silver and gold. When invited to cross a river (possibly the Río Paraná) in local Carijo Indian canoes, the entire company sank, having failed to see the holes made by the Indians in their canoes and weighted down by armour. Those who did gain the opposite bank were promptly killed off by the natives.

T H E S I D N E Y F A M I L Y Sir William Sidney (1482 - 1554) William was a courtier to King Henry VIII and tutor (and later steward) to his son Edward. In 1552 - one year before his death, aged just 26 - Edward VI granted Penshurst to Sir William Sidney. William, now aged 70, had little time to enjoy Penshurst though and his son, Henry , inherited the property on his death just two years later. Sir Henry Sidney (1529 - 1586) Henry had spent his early life at court as the companion of the the young prince Edward. Within two years of Penshurst being given to the Sidney family both his father and childhood friend - now King Edward VI - were dead. Edward contracted tuberculosis (although it is also rumoured that he was poisoned) and is said to have died in Henry's arms. In 1553 Henry married Lady Mary Dudley, sister to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Ambrose Dudley, Earl of Warwick and Lord Guildford Dudley. Guildford was married to the ill-fated Lady Jane Grey, grand-daughter to Henry VII who had been named by Edward VI (under pressure from John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland - Henry Sidney's father-in law) as his successor. Lady Jane reluctantly became queen but after only nine days the Lord Mayor of London announced that Henry VIII's eldest daughter, Mary, was rightfully Queen. Lady Jane Grey and many of her supporters - including her husband and father-in-law - were executed. Her brothers-in-law Ambrose and Robert were confined to the Tower of London but Henry Sidney and his wife escaped any implications.

main Images page Hans Staden Among the Tupinambas Grand Voyages to America Theodor de Bry Harry J. Brown Lehigh University In 1552, Hans Staden, a young Hessian, signed on with a Spanish expedition to Brazil, found himself shipwrecked in the land of the infamous Tupinambas, a tribe imagined throughout Europe as dog-headed man-eaters who breed, fatten, and butcher human children as civilized men do with pigs. Staden soon discovered that these were not the Cynocephali of legend (Lestringant 15) but a tribe a of cannibals with a healthy hatred of the Spanish and Portuguese who had for years made cruel and senseless war on them. Since Staden had wrecked with Spaniards, the Tupinambas bound him and prepared him for execution as they stoked the fires under the boucan and the communal cooking pot. Staden pleaded vigorously while they executed his shipmates with a large wooden mace, swearing to heaven he was not a Spanish enemy but a French ally. Konyan Bebe, the Tupinamba chief, challenged the frantic German to prove that he was neither Spanish nor Portuguese, but French. "I have already captured and eaten five Portuguese," the chief threatened. "They all claim to be French but they lie!" Staden, who did not speak French, improvised by answering in a nonsense language that sounded enough like French, and unlike Spanish, for Bebe to spare him from the boucan (Rosenstiel 29).

Sir Walter Ralegh The English diplomat Main Page Born in 1552, to an English family that had distinguished itself in oversea expeditions, Sir Walter Ralegh rose power and led the English expedition to form a new colony in hostile territory, modern day Virginia. During his young years, Ralegh was able to become a part of Queen Elizabeth's close friends. The Queen usually imparted large sums of monies which Ralegh was able to attain a grant to sell wine. As his business ventures grew, so did his prestige. In 1587, Ralegh was appointed to the post of Captain for the Queen's guard. Just two years earlier Ralegh had received full knighthood, which was the seal of approval for Ralegh to expand English colonization. In order to arrange for a voyage to the New World, Ralegh would need the support of clergy, investors, and the house of commons, In addition, other individuals vying to become the chosen one to lead an expedition to the New World. The fist of Ralegh's Key contacts was Richard Hakluyt, a clergyman whom he had met while studying at Oxford. Hakluyt, becoming interested in overseas exploits, wrote a series of works about his voyages with the high admiral of England. Hakluyt was later sent to Paris to begin researching attempts of various nations who were attempting to colonize western lands.

William Caxton 's press was established in 1476, only nine years before the beginning of Henry VII's reign. Caxton's achievement encouraged writing of all kinds and also influenced the standardization of the English language. The early Tudor period, particularly the reign of Henry VIII, was marked by a break with the Roman Catholic Church and a weakening of feudal ties, which brought about a vast increase in the power of the monarchy. The energy of England's writers matched that of its mariners and merchants. Accounts by men such as Richard Hakluyt , Samuel Purchas , and Sir Walter Raleigh were eagerly read. The activities and literature of the Elizabethans reflected a new nationalism, which expressed itself also in the works of chroniclers (John

Corpus Christi College University of Oxford Images of the New World by Theodore de Bry by Jonathan Bengtson Theodore de Bry was born in Liege in 1528 to well-to-do Protestant parents. He lived in Liege until the 1560s, when he fled to Strasbourg to avoid the Alvan persecution. In Strasbourg, de Bry opened a goldsmith shop and also worked as an engraver, particularly of heraldic emblems. His skill as an engraver served him well, as de Bry himself indicated in the foreword to Icones quinquaginta virorum illustrium "I was the offspring of parents born to an honourable station and in the first rank among the more honoured citizens of Liege. But stripped of all these belongings by accidents, cheats, and ill luck and by the depredations of robbers, I had to contend against adverse fortune so that only by my art could I fend for myself. Art alone remained to me of the ample patrimony left me by my parents. On that neither robbers nor the rapacious bands of thieves could lay hands. Art restored my former wealth and reputation, and has never failed me, its tireless devotee." De Bry's personal motto was " nul sans souci " ("nothing without hard work"), and this strong work ethic brought him early success and prosperity. In 1588, de Bry applied for citizenship in Frankfort, where he settled and worked until his death in 1598. It was only late in his life that de Bry turned his attention and considerable skill as an engraver toward illustrating and reprinting works concerning the New World. The initial inspiration came from Richard Hakluyt, author of

Unit 9: Exploration / Asia Prester John's Letter In an interview with the Pope in 1145, Bishop Hugh of Jabala in Lebanon related how an Asiatic Christian king named Prester John had recently defeated the Persians and would soon come to the aid of the Crusader States of Palestine. A few decades thereafter a fabricated letter from this mythical king began to circulate throughout Europe. The existence of a powerful Christian king at the other end of the Muslim world fascinated the Europeans and led to numerous attempts to contact and ally with him. Many versions of the letter, whose author remains unknown, have survived. The following excerpt comes from a Hebrew version addressed to either Frederick I or II of the Holy Roman Empire. Marco Polo's Description of China, 1290 The most celebrated medieval European traveler, Marco Polo, journeyed overland to Cathay, as China was then known, with his father and uncle in the 1270s. Kublai Khan, the Mongol leader who had just recently conquered China, befriended these Venetian visitors. Polo remained in China for sixteen years and may have served as an administrator for the Grand Khan. In the following excerpt, Polo depicts the majesty of the Mongol Empire and its leader. He also describes Shangtu, the Khan’s summer palace, which later became the paradise of Xanadu in the European imagination. Polo’s account of the riches of the Far East was a major stimulus for subsequent European voyages of discovery. The Cult of the Assassins Although Marco Polo was careful to inform his readers as to what he did or did not see with his own eyes, his account is full of information on areas of Asia which he had never visited. His fascinating description of the heretical Muslim sect of the Assassins falls into this category. The Assassins, whose name may have come from their use of hashish, were based in the mountains of northern Persia and were the subject of many legends within the Muslim world. Their leader, known as the Old Man of the Mountain, demanded fanatical loyalty from his followers. By promising them an immediate entry to heaven, he had them murder his political adversaries. While aspects of Polo’s story about them may be fictitious, his account accords with contemporary Muslim beliefs about the notorious sect.

ANTHONY JENKINSON’S EXPLORATIONS ON THE LAND ROUTE TO CHINA, 1558-1560 Edited by Lance Jenott (2001) The Jenkinson Map (Click on each quadrant to enlarge it) A Map of Jenkinson's Route TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction Editor's Note Moscow to Kazan Kazan to Astrakhan ... Astrakhan to Muscovy INTRODUCTION: After being granted a license to travel, as well as receiving letters from the tsar addressed to foreign kings asking for his safe-conduct, Jenkinson, a Tartar interpreter, and two other company employees, Richard and Robert Johnson, departed Moscow eastward in April 1558. In Astrakhan they joined a group of local merchants, sailed across the Caspian and from thence traveled east overland with the ultimate goal of reaching China. By December they had reached the famous Central Asian city of Bukhara, but were forced to turn back after learning that the routes beyond had been ravished by war. The explorers returned to Moscow in September 1559. The account which follows is Jenkinson’s letter reporting the mission’s events to his employers in England. It was written in 1560 in Kholomogory, Russia, while Jenkinson waited to sail to England. It is perhaps most significant because it is one of the first European reports on the conditions of trade in Inner Asia and the regions adjoining the Caspian Sea since the trade’s decline. The report gives particular attention to the various locations along the routes, the travel time from one location to the next, the conditions, situation, products and merchants of the regions, and especially the often over-looked details of the difficult and hazardous experience of travel in the sixteenth century. Overall, it explains the challenges in reestablishing the overland route to the Far East.

SYBIL WILLIAMS-CLARKE A l-Hassan Ibn-Muhammad al-Wezzani was born in Granada in Spain in 1493 or 1494 of well educated and affluent Moorish parents. He probably preferred to be called al-Fasi, the man of Fezthe great seat of learning in Morocco to which he owed his education. As a young man, he became a soldier, merchant and ambassador. By the age of twenty-five he had crossed the Mediterranean Sea numerous times, and traveled in West Africa and Southwest Asia. In 1518, while crossing the Mediterranean, he was captured on an Arab galley by Christian pirates. As he was a very learned man, instead of being sold into slavery, he was presented to Pope Leo X. The Pope, very impressed by him, freed the young man, granted him a pension and secured his conversion to Christianity. At his baptism, the Pope gave him his own names, Giovanni Leone, from which he became commonly known as Leo Africanus. When he was captured, Leo Africanus had with him a rough draft, in Arabic, of the work which made him famous

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift Sources : Japan Japan is the only real place among the "remote nations of the world" Gulliver visits and describes in the course of his Travels . Swift uses references to Japan to good advantage, adding touches of truthfulness to his story. Japan was a flourishing island nation, remote and mysterious. If Japan really existed, why not other "remote nations"? Outside knowledge of Japan was sparse in 1726, with foreign contact limited to the Portuguese and then the Dutch, and even that was closely regulated. The English had a trade mission briefly around 1600, from which a few sketchy accounts were included in Pvrchas - his Pilgrimes (see Adams and Cocks Engelbert Kaempfer , a Dutch physician, published a long treatise on Japan based on his visit there, not published in English until 1727, the year after Swift published the Travels . Researchers (see Gulliver's Travels and Japan ) can show parallels between Kaempfer's book and Gulliver's account, and subsequently speculate whether Swift had advance access to the translation. Japan also may have supplied Swift with material for other segments of the Travels , through Kaempfer or other sources. One I find particularly compelling is the "
