Abstract
Andrés de Urdaneta (1508?–1568) tells the story of the ill-fated expedition
of Jofre García de Loaysa (1490–1526), which was meant to consolidate
the Spanish claim to the Spice Islands in the aftermath of the Magellan
expedition. Urdaneta, a participant in the expedition who later made
important contributions to Pacific navigation, covers the ill-fated voyage of
Loaysa’s fleet as well as the armed conflict that ensued when the Spanish
arrived in the Moluccas only to find the Portuguese already ensconced
on the island of Ternate. This brief narrative provides an insight into a
complex political and military situation, in which the rivalry between the
two Iberian empires overlaps with the local rivalries of sixteenth-century
insular Southeast Asia. Jorge Mojarro provides the necessary historical
context.
andrsamas de Urdaneta(1508? -1568)讲述了命运多舛的Jofre García de Loaysa(1490-1526)远征的故事,这次远征是为了在麦哲伦远征之后巩固西班牙对香料群岛的主张。乌达内塔是探险队的一名参与者,后来为太平洋航海做出了重要贡献。他讲述了洛伊萨舰队命运多端的航行,以及西班牙人抵达摩鹿加群岛却发现葡萄牙人已经在特尔纳特岛(Ternate)安身后发生的武装冲突。这个简短的叙述提供了一个对复杂的政治和军事形势的洞察,其中两个伊比利亚帝国之间的竞争与16世纪东南亚岛屿的局部竞争重叠。Jorge Mojarro提供了必要的历史背景。
