Philippine History from the FMA Warrior’s Perspective (1540-1549).

1540 –

Spain: After surviving a terrible leg wound, a pious Basque soldier named Ignatius Loyola establishes an evangelistic Roman Catholic monastic order known as the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits. Loyola envisioned the Jesuits as members of a kind of chivalric order. His spiritual exercises, which taught solitary meditation and fencing as forms of mental discipline, bear comparison to the Buddhist meditations used in China and Japan.

1541 –

Brazil: While going up a river in Brazil, the Dominican monk Gaspar de Carvajal reports being attacked by a band of armed females. The story causes the river along which Carvajal was traveling to be called "the Amazon."

Scotland: John Knox leads Reformation in Scotland, establishes Presbyterian church there (1560).

1542 –

1 Nov: Philippines reclaimed for Spain, named Islas Filipinas. Four more expeditions followed the Magellan expedition between 1525 and 1542. The commander of the fourth expedition, Ruy Lopez de Villalobos, named the islands after Philip, heir to the Spanish throne (r. Philip II 1556-159.

1543 –

2 Feb: Fray Ruy Lopez de Villalobos, sailing from New Spain (Mexico), landed south of Mindanao and renamed the archipelago Las Felipiñas (the Philippines), after then crown prince Phillip II of Spain. He arrived at Baganga Bay in Davao Oriental and named the area "Philippines" in honor to Philip the Prince of Asturias, son and successor of Charles V to the throne of Spain. Later, this name was extended to the whole country to replace the old name given by Magellan, the Archipelago of Saint Lazarus. The lack of food and the unfriendly welcome made Villalobos' fleet sail northward. But instead of going to Cebu, a storm brought them to Leyte. Again the islanders have a hostile attitude.

Japan: The Portuguese introduce snaphaunces into Japan. Always looking for weapons to give ill-trained conscripts, Japanese warlords quickly ordered these weapons into mass production, and within fifty years, owned more high-quality firearms than all the princes of Europe combined.

Poland: Publication of On the Revolution of Heavenly Bodies by Polish scholar Nicolaus Copernicus—giving his theory that the earth revolves around the sun.

1544 –

England: English army officers complain about the lack of good beer in France. The issue was not trivial to the English military, whose soldiers drank about a gallon of beer a day, and viewed water as warily as W. C. Fields. Twenty-four years later, Alexander Nowell, Dean of Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London, solves this problem by inventing a process for bottling beer. The subsequent mechanization of brewing is in turn important for excluding women from the industrial work force, as in sixteenth century England, working with bottling machines was men’s work rather than women’s.

1545 –

Roman Empire: The first Council of Trent (near Salzburg), convened under Pope Paul III, defined Catholic counter-reformation doctrines, including the the pope as "Vicar" of Christ on Earth.

Mughul Empire: Babur’s son Humayun, who had recently spent several years living in exile in Iran, conquers Kabul. To celebrate this victory, Humayun decides to have his 3-year old son Akbar circumcised. Festivities associated with this circumcision included wrestling. (Obviously young Akbar was obviously in no condition to wrestle following the cut. However, according to tradition, just a few months previously the lad had girt up his loins, rolled up his sleeves, and successfully grappled with an older cousin during a fight over possession of a toy drum.) For his own part, Humayun was more interested in poetry, music, and art (the Mughul style dates to his return to India from Iran) than hand-to-hand combatives, and even his Imperial Archer was a regular contributor to literary discussions.

1546 –

1547 –

29 Sep: (Spain) Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (September 29, 1547 – April 23, 1616), was a Spanish novelist, poet and playwright. He is best known for his novel Don Quijote de la Mancha, which is considered by many to be the first modern novel, one of the greatest works in Western literature, and the greatest of the Spanish language. It is one of the Encyclopedia Britannica's "Great Books of the Western World" and the Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky called it "the ultimate and most sublime word of human thinking". Israel Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion learned the Spanish language so that he could read it in the original, considering it a prerequisite to becoming an effective statesman.

Russia: Ivan IV (“the Terrible�) crowned as czar of Russia, begins conquest of Astrakhan and Kazan (1552), battles nobles (boyars) for power (1564), kills his son (1580), dies, and is succeeded by his weak and feeble-minded son, Fyodor I.

1548 –

1549 –

Mexico: Juan de Salcedo (b.1549 - d. Ilocos Sur, 1576) was a Spanish commander and soldier. He was known as the last of the conquistadors. Born in Mexico in 1549, Salcedo was the second eldest grandson of Miguel López de Legazpi. He joined Legazpi and brother Felipe de Salcedo in 1564 for the conquest of the Philippines at the age of 15, who arrived in the East Indies in 1565. In 1569, Salcedo led an army of 300 soldiers along with MartÃ*n de Goiti for the conquest of Manila. There they fought a number of battles against the Muslim rulers and destroyed it's kingdom in 1570 and 1571.

Salcedo later explored the northern regions of the Philippines with a small force of 45 soldiers in the late periods of 1571, where he traveled most of Ilocos Sur and Luzon island and founded several Spanish Cities. In 1574, Salcedo went back to the city of Manila, after a war had broke out against 3,000 Chinese Pirates and warriors, who besieged the settlements. Salcedo and his army of 600 soldiers, re-captured the city later that year and followed the retreating Chinese army to Pangasinan in 1575. There, he and his forces, burned and killed Lim ah hong and Lim ah hong's warriors.Salcedo later went back to Vigan, where he died of a malignant fever in his home on March 11, 1576 at the age of 27. His body is laid to rest at the San Agustin Church in Intramuros.

Burma: History records that in about 1549, Burmese soldiers practiced sword dances in their encampment while laying siege to the Thai forces at Ayuthia.

England: Two years after the death of Henry VIII, Thomas Cranmer, before being burned as a heretic in 1556, defines Anglican theology (such as "transubstantiation") by publishing the first Book of Common Prayer used in English worship services.

Philippine History from the FMA Warrior’s Perspective (1530-1539).

1530 –

Japan: Kashima Shinto-ryu kenjutsu founded during the Muromachi period.

Hawaii: While Hawaiian royal bodyguards practiced lua, working-class Hawaiian combative sports included singlestick fighting (kaka-la’au), catch-as-catch-can wrestling (hakoko), and boxing (ku’iku’i). As for Hawaiian aristocrats, their games included canoes and spearing sharks, running long distances, and then wrestling with one another. Many of these Hawaiian games were physically dangerous affairs, partly because the events were virtually no-holds barred (one prince was notorious for breaking his opponents’ arms), and partly because the wrestling matches and runs were conducted on lava beds. Accordingly, success without serious injury was believed to indicate divine support.

1531 –

Mughul Empire: Humayun inherits control of Babur’s Mughul Empire. While Babur always considered himself a descendant of Tamerlane, his descendants preferred to be thought of as descendants of Genghis Khan, perhaps because of Tamerlane’s poor reputation in India. Accordingly, they became known as Mughuls, after a Persian word meaning "Mongol." An avid astrologer, Humayun soon reorganized the Mughul court into bureaucracies called Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. Military activities were, logically enough, associated with Fire, while Water supervised canals and wine cellars. Tuesday, the day of Mars, was associated with crime and punishment. Criminals were executed by being crushed underfoot by elephants. When there were no executions, the elephants were made to fight one another. Wrestling matches were similarly staged between bodyguards, executioners, and assorted strong men attached to the court. Although equally interested in astrology, his successors changed their calendars to suit their own tastes. Akbar, for instance, held judgment on Thursday, while Jahangir held judgment on Wednesday. But all continued watching wrestling matches and elephant fights on judgment days.

Italy: Di Antonio Manciolino publishes a fencing manual called Opera Nova ("New Work"). This book told how to use the sword for thrusting as well as cutting, and is Italy’s oldest published sword text.

1532 –

Japan: After learning five different ways of seizing an opponent from a traveling wizard, a Japanese man named Takenouchi Hisamori establishes a martial art school that taught students to defeat their opponents by tying them up. Although Takenouchi-ryu teachers sometimes claim that theirs is Japan’s oldest jujutsu (literally "[esoteric] method of gentleness," but better translated as "non-lethal combative") system, that has never been definitively proven.

After receiving guidance in a dream, an elderly Japanese noble named Aizu Hyuga no Kami Iko establishes the Kage-ryu ("Shadow Style") school of Japanese swordsmanship. Famous offshoots of the Kage-ryu include the Yagyu Shin Kage-ryu, established about 1565.

Italy: The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli’s cynical look at power politics, is posthumously published. Machiavelli was the first European author to divorce warfare from morality, and to write a political text approaching the subtlety and sophistication of Sun Tzu’s ancient Art of War.

1533 –

England: Hoping for a son, but getting instead a daughter named Elizabeth, England’s King Henry VIII divorces his wife and marries a younger woman named Anne Boleyn. Henry’s divorce is the proximate cause of the English Church’s break with Roman Catholicism.

1534 –

15 Aug: (Spain) Ignatius (born Iñigo López de Loyola) and six other students (Francis Xavier, a fellow Basque, Alfonso Salmeron, James Lainez, and Nicholas Bobadilla, Spaniards, Peter Faber from France and Simon Rodrigues, a Portuguese) met in Montmartre outside Paris, probably near the modern Chapel of St Denys, Rue Antoinette, and binding themselves by a vow of poverty and chastity, founded the Society of Jesus – to "enter upon hospital and missionary work in Jerusalem, or to go without questioning wherever the pope might direct".

England: English split with the Roman Catholic Church.

Germany: Martin Luther publishes an important vernacular translation of the New Testament. In the process, he codifies the modern German language.

1535 –

England: Sir Thomas More went on trial in England charged with treason. Miles Coverdale finishes the first complete, printed Bible in English.

1536 –

Spain: The Loaysa expedition returns to Spain. One of its survivors is Andres de Urdaneta, its chronicler.

Italy: Achille Marozzo was teaching pole weapons, sword and shield, longsword, dagger, and unarmed combat, besides his primary focus of sidesword.

Belgium: William Tyndale (b 1490) executed and burned in Vilvorde, Belgium for translating the New Testament Bible into English (from Greek manuscripts). His last words: "Lord! open the King of England's eyes."

England: King Henry VIII of England authorizes the "Matthew's Bible" and allows it to be sold and read. John Calvin (1509-1504) writes Institutes of The Christian Religion.

1537 –

24 Jun: (Spain) The Society of Jesus travelled to Italy to seek papal approval for their order. Pope Paul III gave them a commendation, and permitted them to be ordained priests. They were ordained at Venice by the bishop of Arbe (June 24). They devoted themselves to preaching and charitable work in Italy, as the renewed war between the emperor, Venice, the pope and the Ottoman Empire rendered any journey to Jerusalem inadvisable.

England: The English reorganize the Guild of Saint George, a company of archers employed in the defense of the City of London, into "the Fraternity or Guild of Artillery of Longbows, Crossbows, and Handguns." Until 1642, the Artillery Company’s training grounds were at Bishopsgate; after that, it was at City Road. The Company’s royal patent authorized members to shoot "at all manner of marks and butts and at the art of popinjay, and at all other game or games, as at fowl or fowls… in all other places whatsoever within the realm of England."

1538 –

Oct: (Spain) With Faber and Lainez, Ignatius made his way to Rome in to have the pope approve the constitution of the new order.

Jerusalem: Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent occupies Jerusalem (1538-41).

France: La noble science des joueurs d’espée ("The Noble Science of the Sport of the Sword"), the first fencing manual to be published in French, appears in Antwerp. However, this was a reprint of a German text first published around 1517, and so the first influential French manual was Henri de Sainct-Didier’s Traicté sur l’espée seule ("Treatise on the Single Sword"). Published in Paris in 1573 with the patronage of Charles IX, the book encouraged fencers to use one middle-sized rapier rather than a long rapier for offense and a short dagger for defense.

1539 –

Germany: A woodblock print of a painting by Sebald Bechem called Die grosse Dorfkirchweih shows German villagers dancing, running, and wrestling as part of their "Big Village Church Dedication." The wrestling done was probably similar to that shown in the book by Fabian von Auerswald called Ringer-Kunst: funff und achtzig stücke ("Art of Wrestling: Fifty-Eight Tricks"). The illustrations in this book were by the school of Lucas Cranach, and the wrestling described was agonistic (geselliges Ringen) rather than antagonistic. Therefore, men were unarmored, and typical tricks included trips, leg pick-ups, and grapevines. The printer of this book, Hans Lufft of Wittenberg, was also the printer of Luther’s Bible.

Poland: Copernicus (1473-1543) in Poland publishes (after 30 years) De Revolutionibus (of Ptolemiac theory from Egyptian Claudius Ptolemy about 150 AD) a theory that the Earth is not the center of the universe.
