Learning about Brazil history part 3 the discovery

The trip of Alvares Cabral part 3 the end of year 1500

Problems with the date of discovery of Brazil: Being because you agree a and other witness ocular in the day of the week, some makes a mistake in the day of the month. And with effect, having been in this year 1500 the day of Easter in _19 of April_ (see. _Taboa Chronologica_ of the _Arte in order of verifying the datas_), _Quarta feira_Wednesday of the oitavario could not be except 22, as with all the reason Caminha says and no April 24 as less affirms the referred pilot). To the first hill sighted ,they named the _monte name Pascoal_ and to the brazilian earth the name of Terra of Vera Cruz_ (that later changes to de Santa Cruz_, and later chenage the na me to the actual "Brasil"_).�It unloads _Pedro Alvares Cabral in the place denominated more late Porto Seguro_. In the day May 1, 1500 plants a cross Cruz with the pattern of the Weapons of Portugal in signal of ownership of the paiz for the the Portuguese crown�Cor�a Portuguesa. After dispatching for Lisbon Captain Gaspar de Lemos to give part to the portuguese king of the unexpected and discovered land (the actual Brasil), he departs for the Cable of Good-hope and his India first destiny. And the Brazil born here.
