This explorer made a treaty with Trimumpara Raja, loading his ships with spices from the Kingdom of Cochin after this explorer had executed several Muslims. He retired soon after those adventures when Manuel I of Portugal put Vasco da Gama in charge of the next expedition. This person's best known discovery may have been made because he avoided the Gulf of Guinea, causing him to find what he originally called the Island of the True Cross when he landed at Porto Seguro near Monte Pascoal, or Easter Mount. The land he found was later claimed for Portugal under the Treaty of Tordesillas [tor-day-SEE-yahs]. Name this explorer who in 1500 landed in what is now Brazil.
