His remains were apparently kept by Lapulapu as a trophy, but know one knows what really happened. Pigafetta and Ginés de Mafra provided written documents of the events culminating in Magellan's death: "Nothing of Magellan's body survived, that afternoon the grieving rajah-king, hoping to recover his remains, offered Mactan's victorious chief a handsome ransom of copper and iron for them but Datu Lapulapu refused.
