Pedro Alvares Cabral, 1467 - 1520. Возглавлял 2-ю португальскую экспедицию в Индию (1500-01), следовавшую вокруг мыса Доброй Надежды по маршруту Васко да Гамы. Направляясь на юг от островов Зеленого Мыса, Кабрал отклонился далеко на запад и 22 апреля 1500 на 17° южной широты открыл принятую им за остров землю, которую назвал Землёй Вера-Круш ("земля истинного креста", "земля святого креста"), в том же году она переименована в Землю Санта-Круш - в знак того, что португальцы водрузили там большой деревянный крест. Несколько лет спустя за открытой Кабралом землёй укрепилось название Бразилия.
