Ferdinand

The only reason why Ferdinand Magellan could claim to be the first man to sail across all of the world's meridians was because Christopher Columbus had chosen to swim.

What did Ferdinand Magellan do?

Ferdinand won't give the speech because he's got a cough.

We were taught that Ferdinand Magellan was Portuguese but worked in the service of Spain.

Explorer Ferdinand Magellan named the Pacific Ocean in the 16th Century.

In 1519, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan, in the employ of Spain, began a journey across the Atlantic Ocean to seek a western route to the Spice Islands via South America.

Spanish history is replete with official anti-Semitism: the 14th-century massacres of Jews in Seville, Córdoba and elsewhere, incited by a prominent Catholic clergyman; the Spanish Inquisition and forced religious conversions, beginning in the 15th century; and the expulsion of an estimated 70,000 Jews by decree of Ferdinand and Isabella.

Raumschach (in German, "space chess") is a modality of chess invented in 1907 by Ferdinand Maack. It adds a third dimension to the board.

The inventor Ferdinand Maack wanted to make chess look like a modern war, with possible attacks not only on a two-dimensional surface, but also from the air and from under the water.

There was absolutely nothing that proved any intention on the part of Ferdinand to commit himself to overt treason.
