Interesting. I don’t know enough to say. Most of world history isn’t that relevant to what the conquistadors did, I think—it was pretty unprecedented. The few precedents were the things I already mentioned (the canary islands, the african coast forts, Cortes was precedent to Pizarro) And at any rate this wouldn’t touch the Afonso case, as you say. So I doubt it.
