		Gil died in 1437, and was buried in the Chapel of our Lady of Pranto, one of the four chapels of the church of the monastery of Saint Mary of Carmo which the Constable had founded.
		Gil Ayres is sometimes said to have been the son of a man from the town of Alegrete and a lady named Maria Trabuca, a relative of the constable, but the author finds no source for this supposition.
		Gil's other children seem to have been Leonore Moniz, "the younger", who is specifically described as being the daughter of Gil Ayres, the Constable's secretary, and a Martin Gil, who appears to have been the ancestor of Columbus' wife.

		This is what Eanes meant when he said that the ships could not return from sailing southward.
		Eanes’ first successful step would have to be repeated on grander and grander scales—culminating in Bartholomew Dias’ westward voyage that enabled him to round the Cape of Good Hope just over fifty years later.

		Aunque se asegura que hubo docenas de expediciones anteriores a Gil Eanes, entre ellas uno de los hombres de Don Enrique, Gonçalo Velho, Comendador de la Orden de Cristo, que pretendían alcanzar el cabo Bojador, todas terminaron en fracaso hasta que Gil Eanes, escudero del Infante, lo consiguió después de quince fracasos.
		Gil de Eanes era natural del Algarve y al parecer un buen navegante.
		Eanes navegó mar adentro y un tiempo después volvió a la costa, que aunque desierta era algo más acogedora, ya que logró arrancar unas plantas que florecían, que conservó para ofrecérselas a Don Enrique.

		Rather, what was important was that Gil Eanes traveled beyond Cape Bojador and returned to Portugal, eliminating in one broad stroke many of the myths and legends about the "Sea of Darkness".

		The discovery of a passable route around Cape Bojador, in 1434, by the Portuguese mariner Gil Eanes was considered a major breakthrough for European traders en route to Africa and later to India.
		Eanes had made a previous attempt in 1433 which resulted in failure, but tried again under orders of Prince Henry the Navigator, who first sent in him 1424.
		The disappearance of numerous European vessels that made prior attempts, despite its violent seas, to round the Cape led some to suggest the presence of sea monsters.

		Spanning 20 years, the story features Gil Eanes, a resourceful Portuguese cabin boy with a gift for languages who is sent by his captain into the heart of this strange new land.
		In laying out Gil Eanes's adventures, Forbath has done a wonderful job of weaving fact and fiction, producing an exciting evocation of an important historical era.

		Plusieurs fois les Portugais avaient essaye de passer ce cap sans succes, a cause des conditions meteorologiques qui y regnent (tempetes et fort courants marins) et des bancs de sables tres dangereux.

		To their astonishment, the vast, rich land, many times bigger than Portugal, was ruled by a fierce warrior tribe, highly sophisticated and wealthy enough to scorn the trade goods the Portuguese had brought with them for barter with the natives and as presents to their chiefs.
		Based on real historical events, Lord of the Kongo is the story of a young Portuguese page and cabin boy, Gil Eanes, whose gift for languages, boundless curiosity, and true grit win him the friendship of Mbemba, one of the two sons of the ManiKongo, the great king.
		In the end, Gil's friendship with Mbemba and Mbemba's curiosity about the European world begin the cycle of tragedy that will destroy Gil, his son Kimpasi (who becomes a Portuguese-educated Catholic priest), and everything Gil cherishes about the land that has become his home.
