# Gama dies at Cochin during the 1524 viceroyalty, a completed last command Date: 1524 ## The fact Britannica and later lives print appointment as viceroy, a harsh last voyage, and death at Cochin in 1524 as received. The dated carrier is that encyclopedia cluster. A last coercive command is a modest humanitarian-office path of medium confidence on unique orders. It is one event. ## Context Do not invent a 1524 death certificate image. Do store the received last viceroyalty. Vasco da Gama Shared work with other named actors remains in the record. Vasco da Gama’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. Conventional years are c. 1460s–1524. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file. ## Evidence and sources Britannica — Vasco da Gama and Cambridge histories of Portuguese expansion independently describe this instrument. Official or archival record: Britannica — Vasco da Gama (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Vasco-da-Gama; Encyclopaedia Britannica). ## Significance ## What is established and what is not Established as a dated public record of this instrument. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Vasco da Gama. They are not a public rating. The driver `humanitarian-access` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Vasco da Gama did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. ## People - Vasco da Gama: https://factrail.ai/people/vasco-da-gama ## Drivers - Humanitarian Access: https://factrail.ai/drivers/humanitarian-access ## Sources - https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cambridge-history-of-the-age-of-atlantic-revolutions/ - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Vasco-da-Gama ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/vdg-viceroy-1524-death
