Write a critical analysis of the important historical information found in Antonio

Pigafetta’s First Voyage Around the World.

" The First Round the World " is about the excursion of Antonio Pigafetta with Ferdinand
Magellan. Antonio Pigafetta is Ferdinand Magellan's assistant, and consequently his writings are
taken into consideration as the primary source. His first excursion was in 151922 to the Isle of
Spices under the banner of King Carlos I of Spain, wherein he circumnavigated the sector after
Magellan's death. On September 8, 1522, the team of the Victoria fought within side the waters
of Seville, Spain, wherein they had these days completed their journey around the world. The
ship was carrying Antonio Pigafetta, a young Italian nobleman who had participated in the
campaign three years earlier and had joined as a partner on the way to Molucas on behalf of
Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan is dead. Pigafetta's diary was the trigger for his 1525 voyage
"around the world". As researcher Theodore Cashey, Jr. pointed out, the travel journal was an
"abstract example of classification" and has achieved worldwide fame. Francesco Chiericati, one
of Pigafetta's supporters, called the diary "a heavenly thing. " The engagement at Mactan”,
published in Pigafetta's travel journal, makes clear what happened before, during, and after.
The event took place on Friday, April 26th. The chieftain of Mactan in Cebu, Jula, sent one of his
children to bring two goats to the table and pay the commander-in-chief some sort of
reparation, but there was no way to let them go. Another boss, Chilapulapu, who does not obey
the lord of Spain. He asked the captain to send only one boat with the men to aid in the battle
against Chilapulapu the next night. The general decided to send three ships with the people. He
told me not to go, but he refused. At 12:00 noon, 60 men armed themselves and came out with
Christian monarchs and officials, some central troops, and 20 to30 Balyang. They arrived in
Mactan three hours before dawn. Commander Ferdinand Magellan wanted to fight the locals.
He specifically said that he would submit to the Spanish lord, accept Christianity as a religion
and become a companion if accepted, but otherwise he would understand how property is
destroyed and uproar. Locals replied that if there was land, there would be a playground with
hardened bamboo braziers. Locals have asked not to deal with free games for everyone, but to
keep them until morning so that there are enough fighters for battle. In the morning, 49
pilgrims jumped up to their hips and walked on the water. The ship was unable to access the
shore because of the huge rocks. The other 11 remained to see the pontoon. When they
landed, these people were divided into three groups of over 1,000,500. The locals attacked the
travelers as soon as they saw them. At that moment, when Magellan saw them, he divided his
troops into two and began tonight. Riflemen and crossbowmen opened fire on all locals for
about 30 minutes. After all, their bullets only go through the thin shields of the locals.
But the very novelty that travel can offer, which constitutes so many possibilities,
raises questions. The essayist of the movement demands, on the one hand, the
authority of an observing gaze and, on the other hand, humility against ambiguity. Having got
to know others, Pigafetta tries to determine her position with the help of many details. He
brings to us their realities, how similar they are, where they live, what they eat and what they
speak, and pages and pages of words from Patagonia, Cebu, Tidore. But little can be expected
sooner or later in the 16th century. 20 years later, there is little silence, and the Pope isolated
the unknown between Spain and Portugal. Magellan and his associates are a corporation that
has reached an agreement with the Spanish government to continue to guarantee the positions
of lieutenant and governor over the territories they find for themselves and their beneficiaries.
Plus, money. There is also a 1/20 advantage in these landscapes. In First Voyage, there is a huge
gap between what Pigafetta sees and what Pigafetta knows. I learned about this bay while living
in Mariana as a child. This is very important because taking travel notes can be too burdensome
for me right now. Arriving in Mariana after drifting for about four months without any new
food, the commander said, “The commander wanted to stop on a huge island to get some new
food, but he couldn’t because the islanders got on the boat and took everything. They were
able to reach us in a way that we could not defend ourselves.” Sailors did not realize that
property was revealed to the islanders and that it was customary to share what guests owned.
So, in the first contact photo, Magellan and his ghetto group fought back. They made their way
to the shore and, according to Pigafetta, devoured 40 to 50 houses. They killed seven men.
Shared surprise at the new and the wondrous took a dull turn: "At the point when we injured
any of those individuals with our crossbow shafts, which went totally through their flanks from
one side to the next, they, seeing it, pulled on the pole now on this and now on that side, and
afterward coaxed it out, with extraordinary amazement, thus passed on; other people who
were injured in the bosom did likewise, which moved us to incredible empathy. We saw a few
ladies in their pontoons who were shouting out and tearing their hair, for affection, I accept, of
their dead. “Magellan named the archipelago Islas de Los Ladrones, the Islands of Thieves. The
name would stick for the following 300 years, in length after the islands were consumed into
the Spanish realm. The name, the intense, critical stroke of it, has for quite some time been
moored to my past, to those old history exercises. There is no inclination in it except for rage so
I was surprised to see the sailors moved with sympathy in the contents of Pigafetta. They seem
to realize at this time of wonder that the islanders are facing the unknown. From the Mariana
Islands, the fleet moved to the Philippines. There they wait, explore the land, exchange
blessings with bosses, and watch people. Besides, I find out what people are looking for. I
understand that through Pigafetta I see the stillness of the world just before it is completely
changed. Then there are coconuts and bananas, and then Pigafetta, who admires her unstable
and lovable personality. This is still happening in the content as Filipino pilots are being caught
to point the way to Molucca, the way to taste. Here's Pigafetta. Wandering, indexing, and
making up for lost time in the great currents of other worlds. As you read, you begin to hear the
father describe his people. Via Luzon, across the sea to the Visayas, and across the sea to
Mindanao. I hear passion and pain, fear, and joy. I hear miracles. I feel the rhythm of
movement. Two of their captains were killed, and Pigafetta expressed the leadership of an
honorable leader. He particularly mentioned his remarkable achievements and talents in Round
the World. Saturday was a blessing day for him, so the battle took place on the Saturday the
commander wanted. With him in the battle, eight of our fellow men were executed and the
four Indians who helped us after converting to Christianity were killed by the ship's mortars.
Only 15 were killed by the enemy and a significant number of travelers were wounded. In the
late afternoon, Captain Christian, with the consent of the traveler, passes the Pacific’s to the
Mactans, giving them the same number if they give it to the rest of the captain and others
executed. of the item. And what they need. The locals said they wouldn't give up a single
person, as they expected, and they wouldn't give up on him for all the riches on earth, but they
intended to keep him as a guide. Antonio Pigafetta is an in-depth discussion at the Battle of
Mactan. Pigafetta's letter is considered the main source because it described all the
information, details, and events of the travelogue. The history of the first rounds and
expeditions left a good mark on history.
