Talk:Órfãs d'El-Rei

WP: Women's History Assessment Commentary
The article was rated Start-class, for deficiencies in Structure and Supporting Materials. The main section should be re-organized under additional section or sub-section headings. The article would also benefit from supporting materials such as images, if there are any to be found, of what these women looked like, or images of one of the destinations (Goa, for example) during the time period when they were shipped abroad.Boneyard90 (talk) 07:04, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Afonso de Albuquerque?
Afonso de Albuquerque also brought in Portuguese orphan girls to Portuguese Malacca in order to colonize the area.

This is hard to believe.

Timeline of later years of Albuquerque;


 * 1511:Conquest of Malacca
 * 1512:Expedition to the "spice islands"
 * 1513:China expeditions
 * 1513:Campaign in the Red Sea
 * 1514:Administration and diplomacy in Goa
 * 1515:Conquest of Ormuz and Illness

I think that he had no time to bring Portuguese orphan girls to Portuguese Malacca. And Afonso_de_Albuquerque wrote; At that time, Portuguese women were barred from traveling overseas. In 1511 under a policy which Afonso promulgated, the Portuguese government encouraged their explorers to marry local women.

d'El
Why does the title use d'El which doesn't seem modern Portuguese but the article body uses do? Is d'El period Portuguese? Why not explain it? --Error (talk) 15:57, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The sources all seem to use the form Órfãs do Rei, so I've moved the article. —Mahāgaja · talk 12:08, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
