notes:
Paquiquineo, a highborn Paspahegh youth from the Chesapeake Bay area, joined a party of Spanish explorers in 1561. He returned with the Spaniards to Spain, converted to Catholicism, and was baptized Don Luis, after his sponsor, Viceroy Don Luis de Velasco. He returned to an area in the Chesapeake Bay area called by the Spanish, Bahía de Santa Maria de Ajacán, in 1570 with Father Joannes Baptista de Segura and his Jesuit companions. Once Paquiquineo landed, he renounced Christianity and returned to his people. The Jesuits protested and angered by their arguments, Don Luis murdered the missionary party.The author, Mathias Tanner from Pilsen, Bohemia, entered the Society of Jesus in 1646, spent most of his life in Prague, and became rector of the Colegio and Imperial University.
