Illustration of Jean de Bethencourt (1362-1425), a French explorer who in 1402 led an expedition to the Canary Islands, landing first on the north side of Lanzarote. From there he conquered for Castile the islands of Fuerteventura (1405) and El Hierro, ousting their local chieftains (majos and bimbaches, ancient peoples). Bethencourt received the title King of the Canary Islands but he recognised King Henry III of Castile, who had provided aid during the conquest, as his overlord. From 'The Exploration of the World, Celebrated Travels and Travellers, Celebrated Voyages' by Jules Verne. Published in three volumes from 1878 to 1880, Celebrated Travels and Travelers is a history of the explorers and adventurers who voyaged to the far reaches of the globe, discovered the wonders of exotic lands and filled in the blank spaces on the world map. With illustrations by L Benett and P Philippoteaux.
