Afonso de Albuquerque
Afonso de Albuquerque (or Afonso d'Albuquerque - disused) (
pron. IPA []) (treated with a Don by some although his birth didn't grant him that treatment) (
1453, Alhandra -
Goa,
December 16, 1515) was a
Portuguese fidalgo, or nobleman, a naval general officer whose military and administrative activities conquered and established the
Portuguese colonial empire in the Indian ocean. Generally considered as a world conquest military genius by means of his successful strategy, he was created first duke of Goa by king
Manuel I of Portugal shortly before his death, being the first Portuguese duke not of the royal family, and the first Portuguese title landed overseas. He attempted to close all the Indian ocean naval passages to the Atlantic, Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and to the Pacific, transforming it in a Portuguese
Mare Nostrum established over the Turkish power and their Muslim and Hindu allies.

Fu un
fidalgo portoghese, un ufficiale della marina le cui attività amministrative resero possibile la creazione dell'impero coloniale portoghese nell'
oceano indiano. Generalmente considerato un genio militare, venne nominato come primo duca di Goa dal re
Manuele I del Portogallo poco prima della sua morte, il primo duca non appartenente alla famiglia reale, e primo titolo dato all'esterno della terra madre. Alfonso tentò di chiudere i passaggi per l'oceano indiano ed impedire l'entrata delle potenze
turche e
Hindu, trasformandolo di fatto in un
Mare Nostrum portoghese.
