Person
Manuel Lobo
Manuel Lobo was a Portuguese soldier and colonial governor who founded Colônia do Santíssimo Sacramento in January 1680 on the northern bank of the River Plate, opposite Spanish Buenos Aires. Spanish forces captured the settlement later that year and took him prisoner, and he died in captivity. The colony was returned to Portugal and remained a disputed outpost for a century.
