| description | In the article we examine the mission of portuguese captain–major Cristovao Jaques in the context of initiation of systematic colonization of Brazil by the portugueses in 1530. We emphasized on the documents which reveal the course of military and inspection squadrons under command of Jaques. These documents reveal the circumstances of founding of portuguese outpost in the South America – factoria «Sitio–do–Маrco». In the article we elucidated that the organization of mentioned military and inspection expeditions towards the coasts of Brazil was the compelled reaction of portuguese crown on the threatening attempts of the french corsairs to be fixed on its coast. In other words, the neutralization of menace of loss by the crown of Portugal of the new discovered land in the Southern Atlantic was the purpose of Cristovao Jaque’s squadron. In this context in the article it is noted that the french squadrons of corsairs from Brittany and Normandy have begun the expedition voyages in the direction of Brazil, since 1503. These expeditions have reached the greatest activity in the twenties of XVI century. The first similar expedition under command of admiral Gonnevil has begun its sea voyage 24th june 1503 when ship «Espoir de Honfleur» has gone in journey from the harbor Honfleur. In the article we accented the attention on that circumstance that the mission of captain-major Cristovao Jaques has been directed to the preparation of reliable base for initiation by the king Joao III the first colonization expedition towards Brazil. |
