The massacre of Magellan's men by the Cebuano was primarily driven by a combination of resistance to foreign invasion and the desire to protect their territory and way of life. The arrival of Magellan and his crew posed a direct threat to local authority and autonomy, leading to mistrust and hostility. Additionally, the Cebuano were motivated by previous conflicts and the desire to assert their power against foreign forces. Ultimately, this violent response was a reflection of their determination to defend their sovereignty.

Who sponsored Ferdinand Magellan's voyage?

Magellan's voyage was financed and supplied by the Spanish king Charles I (who later became Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire). The sponsorship included five ships, pay for the crews and supplies for two years voyage.The reason for the voyage was to discover a new route to the Spice Islands (modern Indonesia and Malaysia) that did not infringe on Portuguese territory.Magellan was killed in battle at Mactan (near Cebu Island, Philippines) on 27 April 1521. He went into this battle on behalf of Rajah Humabon, a local Cebuano leader whom Magellan had befriended and had accepted baptism, against his enemy Lapu-Lapu. Due to the geography of the area, Magellans ships were unable to come close enough to land for their cannon to be employed. Magellan and his men were forced to row a long distance to shore. Upon landing they were attacked by a superior force of Lapu-Lapu's warriors. Magellan, severely wounded, ordered his men to return to the boats. Most of his men escaped but Magellan was killed. The remainder of the voyage was completed with Magellan's navigator, Juan Sebastian Elcano, in command.The story of the voyage was written by the navigator of Magellan's flagship, Antonio Pigafetta.Source(s):See Wiki article on Ferdinand Magellan.
