Manuel da Silva Rosa is a Portuguese historian and computer scientist by profession. For over 30 years he researched and searched for the “truth” related to the discovery of America. As he explains, he uses an “impartial scientific approach.” His attempts to learn the facts took him to Portugal, Spain, the Dominican Republic and even Poland. He shared his with readers for the first time in 2006. Since then, he has been consistently promoting his surprising theory about the origin of Christopher Columbus, publishing subsequent books and scientific materials about the traveler.
Christopher Columbus wasn’t Italian at all? This is what a Portuguese writer says
In 2012, the book “Columbus: Historia Nieznana” was published for the first time in Poland. While preparing materials for this and subsequent books, and finally also for his doctoral dissertation, the writer reviewed thousands of documents not only in his native Portugal. He even analyzed small notes in the margins of the sailor’s books. He also researched the family tree of Columbus and the most powerful families in Europe, and even compared portraits of Columbus and his father to find or rule out any similarities. All this to “deal with historical lies.”
According to Manuel Rosa, this lie is the belief that Columbus came from a family of Italian peasants. In his opinion, he was a Pole, and not just any Pole. The writer claims that in fact Christopher Columbus was the lost son of Władysław Warneńczyk. According to Rosa, the eldest son of Władysław Jagiełło did not die on November 10, 1444 in the Battle of Varna, but escaped and hid on the Portuguese island of Madeira.
Christopher Columbus, son of Władysław Warneńczyk. “There is evidence”
There he adopted the pseudonym Henrique Alemao, although the locals called him Principe Polaco (Pole Prince). This is the Portuguese legend, according to which a Varna man lived happily in Madeira for about 20 years and finally died at sea. Rosa analyzed it and, as he claims, made surprising discoveries. Alemao lived in Madalena do Mar, where he married a Portuguese noblewoman and had a son, later known as Christopher Columbus.
The king did not die in battle, but considered this defeat as God’s punishment for breaking the truce and gave up his crown to atone for his sins in voluntary exile. His identity was protected by the Templars, with whom the King of Portugal, John II the Perfect, was also associated.
– wrote Wojciech Orliński in . Miguel Rosa claims that they, as well as the Spanish courts, tried to hide the true origins of Columbus and the royal lineage of his father. The discoverer himself often lied about his origins. – The kings treated him as an equal, matched his children with nobles, gave them state positions and positions at the court. There is evidence that the kings knew the truth about Columbus because they helped him hide it and at the same time considered him a person of noble birth – explained Rosa in an interview with “Gazeta Wyborcza”. – Christopher Columbus will never again be known as an Italian, but as a Polish prince – Manuel Rosa during a meeting at the Polish embassy in New York.
