The First Voyage Around the World by Antonio Pigafetta

to circumnavigate the world during an expedition that was

led by the Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, and

Sebastian Elcano. The expedition started in 1519 and ended

in Spain in 1522.

requested to the King of Spain to use the West route

(Treaty of Tordesillas), then return using the East route.
