A viewer commented that they were confused because Magellan was Portuguese not Spanish. I replied that there was a reason he rode for Spain. Here’s a section of the book that explains why:
MAGELLAN'S VOYAGES - CHAPTER III.
MAGELLAN IN SPAIN.
MAGELLAN approached the capital of his native land with much misgiving. He knew but too well that King Manuel no longer looked upon him with the favor he once had done, in spite of his heroic service in India and Africa. His resistance to Albuquerque's plans had been reported to the court, and had deeply of- fended the king. Moreover, when Magellan, finding his stipend too little to support him, had petitioned the king to increase it, the request had been curtly refused.
Yet he was resolved not to waste his years in fighting against the Moors. He had heard, from one of his most intimate friends, an energetic voyager named Francisco Serrano, of the delights and riches of the famous Molucca Islands, in the Eastern seas ; and, after deep study of the rude maps which then existed, Magellan came to the conclusion that those islands might be reached by sailing, not southward and eastward, by the Cape of Good Hope and around India, but west- ward, across the Atlantic.
If this were only possible to be done, he who should succeed in doing it would win renown rivalling that of Vasco da Gama himself ; and Magellan made up his mind that, at all hazards, he would attempt it.
On reaching Lisbon, he lost no time in seeking an audience of King Manuel. But the king, having now imbibed a violent prejudice against his brave officer, at first refused to see him at all ; and Magellan's heart sank within him.
One day, however, he received a summons to appear in the royal presence. Determined to make the best of circumstances, Magellan donned a rich suit of velvet, put on a handsome cap adorned with plumes, and taking his handsomest sword from the wall, buckled it about his waist. Then, with haughty carriage, for even before majesty itself he would bear himself proudly, he entered the audience chamber, and advanced with a slight limp in his gait, to where the king sat upon his tbrone, surrounded by his courtiers.
King Manuel glanced at him coldly, and a frown gathered on his face.
" Well, sir," said he, sternly, " why have you left your post in Africa, to come hither? What petition do you desire to make?".
" I have come, your Majesty," replied Magellan, bowing , " to ask for an employment higher and more perilous, and of greater benefit to your throne, than that in which I have been engaged. I pray you to reflect, sir, that I have been of some service to the state. My wounds, that I bear on every part of my body, attest it. I seek a wider field of service to your Majesty."
" Magellan," was the royal retort, " you caused sore trouble in India, when you obstinately opposed the projects of my good general, Albuquerque, and incited the captains to refuse to go with him ; you have demanded of me a larger stipend than you deserve ; and you have left your post to come hither on some fool's errand. What do you wish ?"
" The king is not just to me !" boldly declared the cavalier. " But I will not dare reproach him. Sire, my wish is to command an expedition of discovery. I would seek a new and shorter way, by sailing westward, to the islands of the eastern seas."
" It is folly !" said the king, " I will not permit you to attempt it. Retire, Magellan. You have provoked my displeasure by leaving your post. Return to it, sir, and be thankful that you are not punished for your conduct."
With bowed head, and countenance deadly pale with indignation and disappointment, Magellan slowly passed out of the hall into the corridor of the palace. Overcome with sad emotion, he leaned against one of the pillars, and almost sobbed in his intense grief. Thus were all his bright hopes dashed ; thus all his bright dreams of adventures and fame rudely dispelled.
As he lingered in the corridor, a tall, stalwart man, with black beard that swept down to his girdle, his body enveloped in a long black gown, and his head covered with a black velvet skull cap, approached, and gently laid his hand upon the cavalier's shoulder.
" Be of good cheer, Magellan !" said he, in a low, sympathetic voice. " There are other kings in Christendom besides King Manuel, and others stout and goodly caravels than those of Portugal. All is not lost because your petition is rejected. You have been severely treated ; but if King Manuel blindly refuses to perceive your genius, there are those who will !"
" What mean you, my friend ?" asked Magellan, looking up with a bright glance in his eyes, for the other's words gave him a world of encouragement, and comfort ; " what career is open to me, besides that which King Manuel refuses?"
" Why, that which his rival, King Charles, will open to you ! Know you not that the Spanish king is ambitious, and is jealous of the triumphs of Portugal on the sea, and her conquests in distant lands?"
" What, Faleiro," exclaimed Magellan, "would you have me desert my native land, and my sovereign, to seek a foreign service?"
" Nothing is more common," replied the other. " Here, your service is disdainfully rejected. To stay, is to spend your life in stupid skirmishes with Moors and Arabs, to live on a miserable pittance. If King Manuel will have none of you, in what are you bound to him ?"
Faleiro's words sank deep into Magellan's heart. They revived his faltering hopes, and opened be- fore him a new prospect, just as that which had so much allured him seemed closed forever. His soul smarted under the sharp reproofs and abrupt refusal of King Manuel ; his pride was wounded to the quick ; his nature revolted from humble submission to the disgrace of being thus publicly and scornfully repelled.
Taking Faleiro's arm, he walked with him slowly out of the palace, towards his friend's lodgings.
This Faleiro was an astrologer, and professed to read the future in the stars and signs of the heavens. Astrologers in those days were held in great honor and reverence in Spain and Portugal ; and even the wisest men lent an eager ear to their prophecies. So it was that Faleiro was highly esteemed at King Manuel's court. It was there that he had learned to love the impetuous and warm-hearted Magellan ; and as he himself had a taste for travel and adventures, they soon became very intimate.
The astrologer had heard with both sorrow and anger the king's harsh words to Magellan ; and he now devoted himself to reviving the down- cast spirits of his friend.
They soon reached Faleiro's abode. It was a plain, somewhat gloomy building; and this im- pression was increased when one entered the dark apartment where the astrologer pursued his mysterious studies.
The unpainted walls were hung with astronomical charts, and strange pictures representing various aspects of the firmament ; while on the long tables that lined the room were globes, tele- scopes, and other instruments used by Faleiro in his nightly tasks. A plain table occupied the centre, and to this two high-backed chairs were drawn.
It being now dusk, Faleiro lighted a taper, which spread a dim light through the apartment ; and motioning to Magellan to sit in one chair, himself took possession of the other.
"The present is dark to you, dear Fernan," he said; "it seems to you, does it not, as if no bright future were in store for you?"
" Do you bid me hope," was Magellan's reply, " for better fortune?"
" I do. You know that I have cast your horo- scope, and have predicted for you a great and glorious career. In your own land you have nothing to hope for. Go, therefore, to Spain ; the king will recognize your merits, and, no doubt, will give you a fleet. If you will go, Fer- nan, I will go with you. I, too, long to brave the ocean's perils, to search out new countries. We will seek our fortune on the deep together."
His friend's declaration that he would go with him decided Magellan. He no longer hesitated, but said that he would lose no time in preparing to change his allegiance from Don Manuel to King Charles. It was late at night when the friends parted with warm embraces. Magellan hastened to his lodgings, and tossed all night on his bed, agitated by the new project that filled his mind. The more he thought of it, the more firmly fixed became his resolve to leave the service of his un- grateful sovereign, and to become a subject of the king of Spain. As Faleiro had said, it was no uncommon thing then (nor is it now) for a man to thus transfer his citizenship and adopt another country than that in which he had been born ; and Magellan certainly had the strongest reason to abandon his allegiance to King Manuel.
So you see why Magellan rode for Spain instead of Portugal.

I am so glad you’re channel appear in my feed. I had so many questions about what the real true is about our creation, the purpose of our existence, and the hidden mysteries of our universe. You offered so much information that actually makes sense and provides sense of relief that I am not being manipulated to believe lies but actually being abducted with the true.
