Martim Afonso de Sousa

Martim Afonso de Sousa (c. 1500–1564) was a Portuguese nobleman born at Vila Viçosa and raised alongside the future John III. At court he studied mathematics, cosmography and geography.

In 1530 the king gave him command of an armada to drive the French from the Brazilian coast and begin permanent settlement. He patrolled against pirates, and in 1532 founded São Vicente, Brazil's first chartered town, becoming its first donatary captain.

Back in Portugal he led the home fleet, and from 1542 to 1545 served as governor of Portuguese India. He died in Lisbon on 21 July 1564.
