St. Ambrose, by Francisco de Zurbarán

Alfonso XII ( born Alfonso Francisco de Asís Fernando Pío Juan María de la Concepción Gregorio Pelayo ) ( Madrid, 28 November 1857 – El Pardo, 25 November 1885 ) was King of Spain, reigning from 1874 to 1885, after a coup d ' état restored the monarchy and ended the ephemeral First Spanish Republic.

Alfonso was the eldest son of Prince Francisco de Asis de Borbón-Dos Sicilias and Queen Isabel II, whose reign was marked by a constant political crisis which had several causes.

The sinking of Francisco de Bobadilla's Spanish fleet in 1502 was the first recorded instance of a destructive hurricane.

He lived in the small town of San Francisco de Paula, located very close to the Company ’ s Modelo Brewery for Hatuey beer at el Cotorro.

In 1836, the first armed uprising for independence took place in Puerto Príncipe ( Camagüey Province ), led by Francisco de Agüero and Andrés Manuel Sánchez.

From then on, the long independence struggle was led mainly by Bolívar and Francisco de Paula Santander in neighboring Venezuela.

The Colombian Conservative Party, founded in 1849, traces its origins to opponents of General Francisco de Paula Santander's 1833-37 administration.

In 2004, a multidisciplinary team of academics from Complutense University, led by Francisco Parra Luna, Manuel Fernández Nieto and Santiago Petschen Verdaguer, deduced that the village was that of Villanueva de los Infantes.

In July 1604, Cervantes sold the rights of El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha ( known as Don Quixote, Part I ) to the publisher-bookseller Francisco de Robles for an unknown sum.

A second edition was produced with additional copyrights for Aragon and Portugal, which publisher Francisco de Robles secured.

Diego de Almagro, ( c. 1475 – July 8, 1538 ), also known as El Adelantado and El Viejo ( The Elder ), was a Spanish conquistador and a companion and later rival of Francisco Pizarro.

In an attempt to honor Pizarro before leaving, Almagro refounded the native city of Quito as " San Francisco de Quito " in August 1534.

By 1534 the Spanish crown had determined to split the region in two parallel lines, forming the governorship of " Nueva Castilla " ( from the 1 ° to the 14 ° latitude, close to Pisco ), and that of " Nueva Toledo " ( from the 14 ° to the 25 ° latitude, in Taltal, Chile ), assigning the first to Francisco Pizarro and the second to Diego de Almagro.

The Portuguese presence in East Africa officially began after 1505, when flagships under the command of Dom Francisco de Almeida conquered Kilwa, an island located in what is now southern Tanzania.

In 1618 the Portuguese built the fortress called Fortaleza São Pedro da Barra, and they subsequently built two more: Fortaleza de São Miguel ( 1634 ) and Forte de São Francisco do Penedo ( 1765-6 ).

The early modern period of Sri Lanka begins with the arrival of Portuguese soldier and explorer Lorenzo de Almeida, the son of Francisco de Almeida, in 1505.

However, both the location of the island and its name were quoted in a Dutch book in 1508, which described a 1505 Portuguese expedition led by Francisco de Almeida from the East Indies: " n the twenty-first day of July we saw land, and it was an island lyng six hundred and fifty miles from the Cape, and called Saint Helena, howbeit we could not land there.

The first recorded visits by Europeans to Zambia were the Portuguese Manuel Caetano Pereira ( a trader of mixed Goanese and Portuguese descent ) in 1796 and Francisco de Lacerda ( an explorer ) in 1798.

In 1505, Francisco de Almeida was engaged to improve the Portuguese trade with the far east.

When the Portuguese king Manuel I of Portugal decided to appoint the first governor and viceroy of Portuguese India in 1505, Vasco da Gama was conspicuously overlooked, and the post given to D. Francisco de Almeida.

By his appointment letter of February 1524, John III granted Vasco da Gama the privileged title of " Viceroy ", being only the second Portuguese governor to enjoy that title ( the first was Francisco de Almeida in 1505 ).

With voyages led by Vasco da Gama, Francisco de Almeida and Afonso de Albuquerque, the Portuguese dominated much of southeast Africa's coast, including Sofala and Kilwa, by 1515.
