Line 1: {{Short description\|13th and 14th century Genoese navigator}} [[Image:Satellite Lanzarote Chinijo.jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|Northern part of Lanzarote and Chinijo Archipelago.]] '''Lancelotto Malocello''' ({{IPA-\|it\|lantʃeˈlɔtto maloˈtʃɛllo}}) ([[Latin]]: ''Lanzarotus Marocelus''; {{~~lang-~~langx\|fr\|Lancelot Maloisel}}; fl. 1312) was an [[Italians\|Italian]] navigator, citizen of the [[Republic of Genoa]], who gave his name to the island of [[Lanzarote]],<ref>{{cite EB1911 \|wstitle=Malocello, Lanciloto \|volume=17 \|page=494}}</ref> one of the [[Canary Islands]]. ''Lancelotto'' is the Italian form of the proper name [[Lancelot]]. ==History== Lancelotto Malocello was born in [[Varazze]] ([[Republic of Genoa]]), now [[Province of Savona]], in 1270. The navigator is credited with the rediscovery of the Canary Islands in 1312; the island first appeared on a European map of [[Angelino Dulcert]] (the Dulcert Atlas) in 1339 under the name "Ínsula de Lançarote Mallucellus" (island of Lancelotto Malocello), later shortened to "Lanzarote". The island's native name was ''Tyterogaka''.<ref>{{cite web\|title=Diccionario Ínsuloamaziq\|url=http://insuloamaziq.blogspot.com.es/2012/09/tyterogaka.html\|publisher=Ignacio Reyes García\|url-status=dead\|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021222252/http://insuloamaziq.blogspot.com.es/2012/09/tyterogaka.html\|archivedate=2013-10-21~~\|df=~~}}</ref> Malocello may have voyaged in search of the brothers [[Vandino and Ugolino Vivaldi]], who had sailed to the Canary Islands in 1291 on their way to [[India]], and whose fate was unknown. Malocello arrived on the island in 1312, and remained there for almost two decades until he was expelled by a [[Guanches\|Guanche]] revolt. Information about this revolt is scanty, but his stay on the island is supported by various sources, including the chronicles of the [[Normans\|Norman]] conquest of the island under [[Jean de Béthencourt]] almost a century later, which state that the fortress constructed by Malocello could still be found on the island. Malocello's fortress was situated above [[Teguise (municipality)\|Teguise]]. At the time of Malocello's arrival, a king named Zonzamas ruled the island. Ico, his daughter, and Guanarame, her consort, succeeded Zonzamas. Their son [[Guadarfia]] was the ruler who would greet the expedition of [[Jean de Béthencourt]] in 1402. ==Legacy== Line 40 ⟶ 38: [[Category:14th-century explorers]] [[Category:14th-century Genoese people]] [[Category:~~Italian~~Explorers ~~explorers~~from the Republic of Genoa]] [[Category:Italian navigators]] [[Category:History of the Canary Islands]]
