A Ship that Never Sailed

In 1511, under the new governor Afonso de Albuquerque, Magellan and Serrão participated in the conquest of Malacca. After the conquest their ways parted: Magellan was promoted, with a rich plunder and, in the company of a Malay he had indentured and baptized Enrique of Malacca, he returned to Portugal in 1512. Serrão departed in the first expedition sent to find the "Spice Islands" in the Moluccas, where he remained. He married a woman from Amboina and became a military advisor to the Sultan of Ternate, Bayan Sirrullah. His letters to Magellan would prove decisive, giving information about the spice-producing territories, the Amboina Woman would prevent Magellan from returning to Portugal and even convinced Magellan to remain under the tutelage of Albuquerque.

On the Islands east of Borneo, the land of Saludong, the area which used to be under the influence of Majapahit which is divided under the Hindus and the people who made peace with the Borneans due to the marriage of Dayang Panginoon to Prince Balagtas who is one of them after the land of Tondo was taken, the land of Saludong whose part is called as Sanfotsi by the Chinese fell into Majapahit influence after the marriage of Sasaban to the legendary emperor Solodan of Majapahit and solidified it after her sons came back to Saludong according to the oral histories, the marriage of Dayang Panginoon, a relative of the Bruneian Sultan to Prince Balagtas is said to have brought in Islam to Saludong, the marriage was said done to prevent the people of Saludong from contesting Tondo from the Bruneians and their scions who had taken Tondo from them, however it would not be known how islam came to the north but the entrance of Islam is said is to come from the marriage since Islam only came after that.

The Divorce and the Daughters

Henry VIII would die in 1548 leaving the throne to the 10-year-old Edward VI with protestant advisors which would lead England to the reformation and Edward V would be protestant himself, however Edward VI would die in 1553 after Henry VI died which would complicate the succession to the English throne since the next in line would be a Spanish one.
