Note 29 — GOMES EANNES DE AZURARA; (continued 2)
C. Raymond (Charles Raymond) Beazley translation
(p. 18). Canary Islands.—Here Azurara probably refers to the projects of 1424-5, though his words may apply to Henry's efforts in 1418, or in 1445-6, to acquire the Canaries for Portugal (see Introduction to vol. ii, p. xcvi-xcviii).
The "great Armada ... to shew the natives the way of the holy faith" is very characteristic of Azurara.
