Estrangeiros na Índia no tempo de Afonso de Albuquerque: Os anónimos

Abstract

In this article, Ana Maria Ferreira attempts to identify the non Portuguese that took part in the Portuguese Overseas expansion, in particular those who played an active role in India under Afonso de Albuquerque (early 16th century). A closer attention is paid to the less known persons and to the motivations that led them to participate in the imperial venture of the Portuguese monarchs.
