Following Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama's success in discovering a sea route around Africa to India in 1498, King Manuel I commissioned Pedro Alvares Cabral to lead a second voyage of 13 ships and 1,500 men to India. Although he intended to stay close to the west coast of Africa, Cabral sailed far off course and accidentally chanced upon the coast of South America. According to the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494, any land falling within 370 leagues 2.060 km west of the Cape Verde Islands was to belong to Portugal, whereas any land discovered west of this meridian would be Spanish territory, as decreed by Spanish-born Pope Alexander VI. The coastline of Brazil therefore fell within the Portuguese sphere of influence and was colonized by Manuel I. Cabral left two men there as ambassadors and continued across the south Atlantic, rounded the Cape of Good Hope, fought off Arab merchants in East Africa, and finally reached Calicut in India in September 1500.

Revolt of the Sea Beggars. From 1566 onwards, the inhabitants of the Netherlands who opposed the Spanish administration of Philip II are known as Geuzen. Cruelties against Catholics committed by Dutch Geuzen. Jean-Jerome von Edam and other Catholics in the town of Hoorn are tortured. Those who survive the first torments are tied up and laid on their backs, with a large cauldron placed on their bare bellies, upside down, with live dormice inside. The fire lit in the cauldrons enraged the dormice who, to save themselves, gnawed the stomachs and rummaged in the entrails of the tortured. On the left of the image, Sister Ursule Talese drowned in a river in Haarlem, and her sister killed with a rock. 19th-century facsimile after an engraving in "Theatrum Crudelitatum Haereticorum Nostri Temporis", Antwerp, 1587.
