The Life of MagellanChange
Magellan had been involved in his father's expeditions to Africa when he was only 25 years old. He had hoped to embark on an expedition to the Philippines.
Like Chistopher Columbus he thought that when the world was round, he could go East by sailing to the West. So he went to King Emmanuel I. of Portugal, with a view to helping his country. He asked her to give him some money to make the expedition. But the king did not believe his plan. In the wrath of the king, Magellan left the country of his birth in Spain.
Here he tried to go to King Carlos I. and inquire here. Carlos I. agreed and signed in September 1519. Magellan landed with five ships ( Santiago , Victoria , San Antonio , Trinidad , and Concepcion ) and 300 people (including Antonio Pigafetta as recorder).
