Excerpts

AMONG many things which the king Dom John heard from the ambassadors of the King of Brain, and also from John Afonso d'Aveiro, of what was related to him by the inhabitants of those parts, was that about twenty moons' journey to the east of the kingdom of Benin, which, according to their method of calculation and the short stages they make, would be about two hundred and fifty of our leagues, there was a king, the most powerful of those parts, whom they call Ogane, whom the heathen princes of the districts of Benin hold in the same veneration as we hold the supreme pontiffs.
