The reference de Espinosa to Portuguese authorities for the help in a remediless situation (Portugal and Spain were not in a state of war) as can not be put in fault de Espinosa.

That line of behavior, which one was selected the Portuguese authorities in relation to the participants of expedition, can not be put in fault de Espinosa.

The circumstances were added up - how they were added up.

And not on fault Gonzalo Gomez de Espinosa. If to look at a situation from today's standards, the fact of transit of a part of route up to Spain of de Espinosa and his satellites on the Portuguese ships discredits nobody and does not degrade; can be, adds internationality to so initially international expedition.

As to personally de Espinosa, there are basis to consider him, co-chief of expedition (after death of Magallanes), a man of duty, person who has adequately fulfilled his duty. Duty to all: before Magellan, before members of an expedition, before of Spain.

For some reason there is a sensation, that sailing "Victoria" and route to Spain those who sailed on "Trinidad", internally are interdependent. It would be desirable to exclaim: if the person of a "terrestial" profession - Gonzalo Gomez de Espinosa - has managed to supervise over the ship, long time ploughing Pacific ocean and not drowned, has managed after all tests to return in Spain, - so especially had chances successfully to bend a terrestrial globe mariner del Cano and members, accompanying him!

What reacting can produce the route Gonzalo Gomez de Espinosa in Spain: shame or pride? The facts of the reference of de Espinosa for the help to Portuguese authorities and subsequent presence on a situation of the captive invoke shame for de Espinosa? But is pure definitely, that after returning in Spain de Espinosa was not accused in anything.

If anybody feel a shame about de Espinosa, it is possible to comment: Spanish Monarch, king Carlos I, Emperor Сarl V, is much better than we, modern people, perceived the nuances of a situation.

And if to accept versions Kunin K.I. and anonymous writer of the article "Gonzalo Gomez de Espinosa", de Espinosa at will of the Spanish Monarch has taken a rather honorary position (de Espinosa has received the arms, pension, high position).

For Gonzalo Gomez de Espinosa it is not necessary to be ashamed. About situation historic facts speaking.

We shall be objective. Someone has drowned. Someone perished in the conflictings to the local residents of exotic terrains. Someone has deserted. Someone died from illnesses and other causes ... ...De Espinosa has appeared among those who has remained in alive, has bent a terrestrial globe, HAS RETURNED to Spain. Degree of successful of del Cano and of de Espinosa - different (miscellaneous). Del Cano has returned in Spain is honorary, saluting by a discharging of bombards. And de Espinosa - after some kind of the Portuguese capturing.

But de Espinosa was successful - that outside of doubt. The losses were in both parts of expedition.

Also we will make the amendment that de Espinosa is the "overland" person, not the professional seaman, not the professional navigator.

There are good causes to two titles of the first in a history of round-the-world expedition (basic - "expedition of Magallanes" and second - "expedition of Magallanes - del Cano") to combine third, "facultative": "expedition of Magallanes - del Cano - de Espinosa".

Besides there are reasons to accept historic-detailing dating of expedition - 1519-1527 (into the specification of main basic dating: 1519-1522); - considering year of returning de Espinosa and other members of round-the-world expedition in Spain (1527).

What events descended between 1522 (year of returning in Spain del Cano on "Victoria") and 1527 (year of returning de Espinosa)?

"The situation has caused Spain and Portugal again to discuss a problem of divisions of the world.

Already it was necessary to "divide" the Pacific basin. The quoters of the Spanish and Portuguese Monarches have met for negotiations in 1524 on border of the states in a place Badajoz.

Simplly and fast to divide a terrestrial globe it was not possible.

The negotiations were postponed.

Each of the parties aimed to achieve such frontier, that to her refer to Moluccas. (...) Not hoping on a satisfactory conclusion of negotiations, Charles V tried to end a prolonged dispute, having taken the Moluccas - to occupy the Moluccas.

July 24, 1525 seven ships under a command of Garcia Jofre de Loaisa (in a structure of expedition was included and del Cano) send from Spain, being routed to Moluccas islands. The sailing was added up tragically. To Moluccas islands one ship - "Santa Maria de la Victoria" - has reached only. On the way have perished de Loaisa and del Cano. Third part of command of the ship has died of illnesses. (...) After unsuccessful attempts to capture of the Moluccas Carl V, experiencing acute requiring in money, has agreed, having received from Portugal 350 thousand ducats, to conduct a frontier (...) to east from Moluccas islands. It was described in the Saragossian agreement in April, 1529" [6].

The expedition of Magallanes - del Cano - de Espinosa has activated potent global forces!

By the way. There is involuntarily desire to joke: if de Espinosa returned to Spain much earlier than 1527, he would have chances to take not the office of honour of the royal supervisor of the ships left in Indium, but became an honour alguacil of fleet in expedition of Garcia Jofre de Loaisa.

Some time Francis Drake, was born about 1540, could be a contemporary of de Espinosa (if he really worked in the Seville port in 1550 in 60 years age).

Young Drake had to be visiting the ports of the Netherlands and France.

Without having at the time of writing of this essay documentary confirmed data on date of death of de Espinosa, and adhering logical models "Derzhavin - Pushkin" and "Pullman - Edison", we can mentally create a meeting of Francis Drake with Gonzalo Gomez de Espinosa.

Let's say, in Amsterdam port. And words of successful de Espinosa, said at the presence of juvenile Francis: "to become successful, it is necessary to make round-the-world travel!"

(...)

" ... Drake ... closely studied the book about sailing of Magallanes. This book was always with him" [6].

5. Juan Sebastian del Cano (intellectuality, obstinacy, unshakable victorious hardness)

"It is believed that Juan Sebastián belonged to a family of well-to-do fishermen and seafarers, who had their own home and boat. Firstborn of nine brothers; Some of them are known for biographical data. Domingo, called as the father, was a priest and pastor of Getaria. Martín Pérez, Antón Martín and Ochoa Martín were sailors like Juan Sebastián and took part with him in the expedition of Garcia Jofre de Loaisa. Martín Pérez was the pilot of one of the ships of this expedition" [8].
