 The Portuguese regarded Magellan as a traitor for having sailed for Spain.In Spain, Magellan's reputation suffered due to the largely unflattering accounts of his actions given by the survivors of the expedition.The first news of the expedition came from the crew of the "San Antonio", led by Estêvão Gomes, which deserted the fleet in the Strait of Magellan and returned to Seville 6 May 1521.
