Ferdinand Magellan was employed by King Charles I of Spain. After initially serving Portugal, he sought support from Spain for his ambitious expedition to find a westward route to the Spice Islands. In 1519, with the backing of the Spanish crown, he embarked on the famous voyage that ultimately led to the first circumnavigation of the Earth.
