'''Diego Lopez De Sequeira''' (aka Diogo Lopes de Sequeira) was a Portuguese [[admiral]], sent to analyze the trade potential in [[Madagascar]] and [[Malacca]], he arrived at Malacca on 11 September, 1509. He left the next year when he discovered that [[Sultan Mahmud Shah]], the local leader, was devising his assassination. This gave [[Afonso de Albuquerque]] the opportunity to embark upon his expeditions of conquests. He was subsequently made governor of [[Portuguese India]] (1518-1522), and in 1520 led a military campaign into the [[Red Sea]] which hastened the first legitimate Portuguese embassy to [[Ethiopia]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Haywood|first=John|title=Historical Atlas of the Early Modern World 1492-1783|publisher=Barnes & Noble Books|year=2002|isbn=0760732043}}</ref> |
