==History==
The Genoese navigator Lancelotto Malocello 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|deadurl=yes|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 Bethencourt]] 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]].
