	Pedro Mascarenhas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pedro Mascarenhas (1470- June 23, 1555) was a Portuguese explorer and colonial administrator.
		In 1528 explorer Diogo Rodrigues (after whom the island of Rodrigues is named) named the islands of Réunion, Mauritius, and Rodrigues the Mascarene Islands, after Mascarenhas.
		Mascarenhas served as Captain-Major of the Portuguese colony of Malacca from 1525 to 1526, and as viceroy of Goa, capital of the Portuguese possessions in Asia, from 1554 until his death in 1555.

		As Mascarenhas became aware of the storm that was gathering against him, he prepared to meet it as well as possible, and sent notice of his danger to the governor-general, Don Juan de Castro, and to all the neighbouring Portuguese commanders.
		Mascarenhas having expressed a desire of acquiring some intelligence from the enemy's camp, one Diego de Anaya Coutinno, a gentleman of note and of great strength, put on a helmet with a sword by his side and a spear in his hand, and let himself down from the wall under night.
		Mascarenhas on his part exerted every means for defence, always repairing to wherever there was most danger, as desirous of gaining equal honour with Silveyra who had so gallantly defended the same place only a few years before.

		Meanwhile John III., king of Portugal, had re-solved on sending a mission to his Indian dominions, and had applied through his envoy Pedro Mascarenhas to the pope for six Jesuits.
		Bobadilla, sent for to Rome, arrived there just before Mascarenhas was about to depart, but fell too ill to respond to the call made on him.
		Xavier complied, merely waiting long enough to obtain the pope's benediction, and set out for Lisbon, where he was presented to the king, and soon won his entire confidence, attested notably by procuring for him from the pope four briefs, one of them appointing him papal nuncio in the Indies.

	Founding the Society
		When they arrived, they were welcomed and assisted by Pedro Ortiz (formerly of the Sorbonne who had known Ignatius and now working on the annulment of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragón as ambassador of Charles V).
		Pedro Ortiz invited them to the Castle San Angelo to engage in an intellectual discussion to demonstrate their university style of disputation which much impressed the Pope who seemed to enjoy this kind of event.
		Pedro Ortiz, the distinguished theologian from the Sorbonne and ambassador for Charles V, asked to undergo the Spiritual Exercises with Ignatius and the two of them went off to the famous Benedictine Abbey of Montecasino.

		João Pedro Xavier presents the architecture of António Rodrigues at the Nexus 2002 conference in Obidos, Portugal, 15-18 June 2002.
		I think there is a strong possibility that this relationship is intentional attending to the references concerning these matters in his Treatise and also because of his connection with the Great Cosmographer of the Realm, Pedro Nunes (born at Alcácer).

	The Diego Garcia Test Question
		The island currently known as Diego Garcia was probably discovered in 1512 by a famous Portuguese captain named Pedro Mascarenhas.
		Early in that year he was sailing in an 'armada' (fleet) under the aegis of one Dom Garcia de Noronhas, who would later go on to be the Third Viceroy of India (1538-1542).
		So, Pedro Mascarenhas had his ship detached to hurry to India, finding out if there was a faster route than simply following the African coastline northwards.

		Pedro Mascarenhas discovered neighbouring Réunion island and gave his name to the Mascareignes archipelago, made up of three islands, namely Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues.

		However, the expedition fleet of ships was badly damaged during a severe storm off the Cape, with four of the ships being lost with all hands and Dias' ship reported missing, presumed sunk; again with all hands.
		Of particular note were the visits by Domingo Fernandez in 1507 (who is credited as naming the island 'Ilha do Cirne'; or 'Swan Island'), by Diogo Rodriguez (after whom the island of Rodrigues is named) and by Don Pedro Mascarenhas (after whom this region of the Indian Ocean is named: "Les Mascareignes").
		During the next 75 years, the Portuguese used Mauritius as a port of call - replenishing water and victual supplies for their onwards journeys to India, Malaysia and the Spice Islands - but they never established a settlement on the island.

		Dom Pedro de Mascarenhas (afterwards, in 1554, Viceroy at Goa) sailed on this mission from Ceuta, and "Joao Nunes del Pont" is mentioned as accompanying him.
		The king and the Emperor Charles V. were both at this time anxious to prevent the Moorish corsairs from using Tetuan in future, as they had done in the past, as a base for their piratical attacks on Spain and Portugal.
		If this man were the same as he who went with Mascarenhas to Tetuan, he had, in all probability, not been long in India when he went to Madrefaba.

		Yet it seems that the Portuguese were the very first to set foot on the virgin island, the exact date of which has laid grounds for discussion.
		While some attribute i to Don Pedro de Mascarenhas in 1511, others do so to Domingo Fernandez around the end of that same year.
		In a very well researched work published in 1979 by Dr. Alfred North Coombes, the latter rather attributes the discovery of Mauritius to sailor Diego Dias, who would have landed on the island in July 1500, before setting foot on Reunion Island one month later.

		The island appears with a Portuguese name `Cirne' on early Portuguese maps, probably because of the presence of the Dodo, a flightless bird found in great numbers at that time.
		It was another Portuguese sailor, Don Pedro Mascarenhas, who gave the name Mascarenes to the group of islands now known as Mauritius, Rodrigues and Réunion.
		The Portuguese did not settle permanently on these islands.

		The name Mascarene, by which the archipelago is known, derives from Pero, - more commonly Pedro - Mascarenhas, traditionally considered as the discoverer of the islands.
		The Portuguese appellation does credit to the seafaring spirit of the early Portuguese navigators.
