The Jesuits in Brazil, to get away…

1552 CE to 1563 CE

The Jesuits in Brazil, to get away from Bishop Sardinha's direct grasp, shift their attention to the south, where they form, in 1554, the aldeia of São Paulo de Piratininga on the plateau at the headwaters of the Rio Tiete high above São Vicente.

Father Jose de Anchieta's mission village later becomes known as the city of São Paulo.

The crown seemingly favors the Jesuit approach because it recalls Bishop Sardinha.

En route back, Sardinha is shipwrecked, then killed and reportedly eaten by Caeté people.
