Magellan served Portugal in India and Morocco, was refused further backing at home, and took his plan to Charles I of Spain instead: reach the Spice Islands by sailing west. Five ships left Seville in 1519 with about 270 men. He put down a mutiny in Patagonia, lost one ship to wreck and another to desertion, and after weeks of searching found the strait at the tip of South America that now carries his name. The Pacific crossing took three months and ninety-nine days of starvation and scurvy. He was killed at Mactan in April 1521 intervening in a local conflict. Elcano brought the Victoria back to Seville in 1522 with eighteen survivors.
