	Magellan was one of the people who believed that there was a passage through the Americas that would enable ships to find a much faster way to the Indies. He and his partner Ruy Faleiro convinced the King of Spain that because of the [[Treaty of Tordesillas]], the Spice Islands were under Spanish dominion. Charles agreed to give Magellan Five ships for his quest: the Trinidad, the Victoria, the San Antonio, the Concepcion, and the Santiago.

He had accomplished his goal of sailing to the Spice Islands by sailing west.

 Magellan was killed in a skirmish with some natives when he was in the [[Philippines]]. This left one of the ships without an adequate crew, so it was burned. This left the Trinidad and the ''Victoria'' loaded with cloves, and on their way home. After sailing for some weeks, the Trinidad sprung a leak, and the ''Victoria'' left for Spain without her. The Trinidad was captured by a Portuguese ship, and only four of her crew ever returned to Spain.
