Albuquerque, Afonso de

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Albuquerque, Afonso de (1453–1515)

Viceroy and founder of the Portuguese East Indies with strongholds in Ceylon, Goa, and Malacca (now Melaka) 1508–15. In 1515 the king of Portugal recalled him, putting Albuquerque's personal enemy Lopes Soares in his place. He died at sea on the way home when his ship Flor del Mar was lost between Malaysia and India.

He consolidated Portuguese power in the East Indies by building fortresses, imposing coinage on the native barter economies, and encouraging intermarriage.
