I wonder if this line is accurate. I am from that region and did not know about him till I read this here "The Indians long remembered his benign rule, and used to visit his tomb to pray him to deliver them from the oppression of his successors." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 168.215.135.201 ( talk • contribs).
Why this text in the article ? It could pertain here at the talk page. -- DLL 18:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
The Indians long remembered his benign rule, and used to visit his tomb to pray him to deliver them from the oppression of his successors. Can anyone expand, confirm, or deny this? Especially the perception of Al as "benign ruler"? -- Ringtail Jack 05:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
The Good article nomination for Afonso de Albuquerque has failed, for the following reason:
Just passing through, thought there somehow wasn't an article on him. No idea how to do this nor any inclination to take the time, but I know there are a lot of dedicated folks who know how to do a redirect without researching it. Lots of texts translate "Afonso" to "Alfonso", including the Hakluyt Society's "Three Voyages of Vasco da Gama". 130.85.194.221 ( talk) 22:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I was actually thinking the same. The correct name in portuguese is Afonso and not Alfoso -- Jfarinhote ( talk) 11:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC) The redirect exists, click on Alfonso de Albuquerque and you will see. dougweller ( talk) 12:17, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Removed the following sentence after checking the stated reference - and researching other- for a report of thisslaughter of all the Muslim population after the conquest of Malacca. As I didn't find any, neither in this or in other sources - removed it hopping someone can shed light on this issue. I did find reports about a Muslim slaugther after Goa conquest and hope to include and reference it soon in the article.
"He ordered the slaughter of all the Muslim population in an effort to reduce religious divergence hoping that it would force Hindus and Muslims to convert to Christianity.(Benton, Lauren. (2001) Law and Colonial Cultures "Cambridge University Press". 300 pages. ISBN 0-521-00926-X.) -- Uxbona ( talk) 23:52, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
Can someone please enter more info on Afonso de Albuquerque's personal life? (Descendents, etc.?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.1.226.64 ( talk) 05:02, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
I read that, but it doesn't go into detail (e.g. Who was his son's mother?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.212.186.193 ( talk) 17:44, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Any credible references to the claim that Afonso de Albuquerque brought Alphonso mango on his journey to India? According to Wikipedia, mango "is a fruit which is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent." I wonder where a Portuguese obtained the cultivar of Afonso and brought it to India.
