After successive appeals to the Pope asking for missionaries for the East Indies under the Padroado agreement, John III was enthusiastically advised by Diogo de Gouveia, rector of the Collège Sainte-Barbe, to draw the newly graduated youngsters that would establish the Society of Jesus.

Álvares and Mattheus were forced to wait until the arrival of Soares ' replacement, Diogo Lopes de Sequeira, who successfully sent the embassy on, with Dom Rodrigo de Lima replacing Duarte Galvão.

* 1658 – Diogo de Mendonça Corte-Real, Portuguese diplomat and statesman ( d. 1736 )

* Diogo de Azambuja ( 1432 – 1518 ) Portuguese explorer of the African coast.

* September 11 – Portuguese fidalgo Diogo Lopes de Sequeira becomes the first European to reach Malacca, having crossed the Gulf of Bengal.

* Portuguese navigator Diogo de Teive discovers the islands of Corvo and Flores in the Azores.

Peaceful contact was finally opened in 1456 by Diogo Gomes, and the bay was subsequently referred to as the " Angra de Bezeguiche " ( after the name of the local ruler ).

But a peace was negotiated by the archbishops Diogo Gelmires of Santiago de Compostela and Burdino of Braga, rival churchmen whose wealth and military resources enabled them to dictate terms.

* 1427 — Diogo de Silves discovered the Azores, which was colonized in 1431 by Gonçalo Velho Cabral.

* 1452 — Diogo de Teive discovers the Islands of Flores and Corvo.

* 1509 — The Bay of Bengal crossed by Diogo Lopes de Sequeira.

* 1512 — Pedro Mascarenhas discovered the island of Diego Garcia, he also encountered the Mauritius, although he may not have been the first to do so ; expeditions by Diogo Dias and Afonso de Albuquerque in 1507 may have encountered the islands.

Turning away from the Albuquerque clique, represented by Diogo Lopes de Sequeira, John III looked for a fresh start.

John was educated by notable scholars of the time, including the astrologer Tomás de Torres and Diogo de Ortiz, Bishop of Viseu, and Luís Teixeira Lobo, one of the first Portuguese Renaissance humanists, rector of the University of Siena ( 1476 ) and Professor of Law at Ferrara ( 1502 ).

The monarch awarded many scholarships to universities abroad, mainly in the University of Paris, having sent fifty Portuguese students to the Collège Sainte-Barbe headed by Diogo de Gouveia.

Those included George Buchanan, Diogo de Teive, Jerónimo Osório, Nicolas de Grouchy, Guillaume Guérante and Élie Vinet, who came to be decisive for the disclosure of the contemporary research of Pedro Nunes.

However, the importance of the College was shadowed by rivalry between the orthodox views of the " Parisians " group headed by Diogo de Gouveia and the more secular views of the " Bordeaux " school headed by his nephew André de Gouveia, within the advent of the Counter-Reformation and the Society of Jesus.

The Formigas were first discovered by Diogo de Silves and Gonçalo Velho Cabral in 1431, during their journey to Madeira.

The first results came soon and Gonçalves Zarco discovers the Porto Santo Island in 1419 and the Madeira Island in 1420, Diogo de Silves discovers the azorean island of Santa Maria in 1427.

These were unsubstantiated accounts and unofficial, until 1427 when navigator Diogo de Silves found the island of Santa Maria ( at that time referred to on nautical charts as Ilha dos Lobos or Ilha do Ovo ) during his journey to Madeira.

Diogo de Silves, ( 15th century ) is the presumed name of an obscure Portuguese explorer of the Atlantic who allegedly discovered of the Azores islands in 1427.

In 1943, Portuguese historian Damião Peres proposed that only Diogo de Sunis or Diogo de Silves should be entertained as readings from the smudged surname, and opted for Silves simply because Portuguese surnames of that era are usually toponyms and that the town of Silves, in the Algarve, not far from the port of Lagos ( where Henry was organizing his expeditions ), was not unlikely.

The hypothesis has been sufficiently accepted that the Portuguese postal service saw fit to emit a stamp in honor of ' Diogo de Silves ' in 1990.

There is no other record or information about Diogo de Silves, whom he worked for or what his objective was.

It is often assumed ( albeit without corroboration ) that Diogo de Silves was a captain in the service of the Portuguese prince Henry the Navigator.
