Synopsis
Excerpt from Universal Historical Dictionary; Or Explanation of the Names of Persons and Places
Gama, Alva Annes de, distinguished himself, as well as his son, in the conquest of Algarve in the time of Alphonso III. Gama, Vasco de, so famous by his discovery of the passage to the Indies by the Cape of Good Hope, was born at Sines, in Portugal, sent in 1497 by Emanuel, king of Por tugal, on a voyage of discovery; and, after encountering incredible difficulties, and undergoing many perils, be re turned in safety in the space of two years and almost two months, gratified at having effected the object of his voyage. He made a second voyage, from which he returned laden with riches; and, being appointed Viceroy of India by John III, he returned thither a third time, but died soon after his arrival in 1525. He was honoured with the title of Don for himself and his posterity, and created a grandee of Portugal. The poem 'of Camoens, entitled The Lusiad,' which celebrates the first expedition of Gama, is well known in this country by Mickle's able translation. [vide Plate XV.
