Captaincy of Espírito Santo

Another version, defended by Professor Estilaque Ferreira da Silva, points out that the territory may have been approached a few years later due to physical obstacles to navigation from Porto Seguro to the south of the country, which forced ships to go around, rather than bordering the area.[2][3] He, accompanied by sixty refugees, disembarked from the ship Glória in a small cove on the Penha Hill on May 23, 1535, a Pentecost Sunday, which is the reason why the donatário Coutinho decided to baptize his lot with the name of Captaincy of Espírito Santo.Later, Azeredo, in command of one of the ships in Cristóvão de Barros' fleet, participated in the expulsion of the French invaders from Guanabara Bay and was rewarded with the donation of a vast sesmaria, where he settled with his family.[2][3] According to Augusto Sousa, the Royal Provision of April 10, 1736, ordered the governor-general in Bahia to send an engineer to the Captaincy of Espírito Santo every three years, equipped with the necessary materials for all repairs and improvements to the fortifications in the area.In a report addressed to the governor, he said that the captaincy had around 8,000 people and exported food, wood, cotton cloth and sugar to Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and ports in the south, which were transported on ships belonging to Vitória merchants.
