Dom Francisco de Avis

@domfrancisco@beige.party

Late 15th century Portuguese admiral and conqueror. Because of some error in God's plan, I am on the Fediverse in 2026.

Interests include spices, seizing spices, mercantilism, finding Prester John Mastodon, cannons, sailing ships, not dying from scurvy, ocean currents, helping god recognize his own, determining longitude (if possible), serving rough justice, and King Manuel I.

[This is a character; Portugal did horrific shit that I condemn. This is a hapless bozo running amok in 2026.]

January 26, 2026

I spent years of my life at sea, jorkin it to comely swells and stabbing people with a pike if they didn't give me cloves and cinnamon. But I fear I missed my true calling: boning on camera for money.
