Meet FERDINAND Magellan, the 16th-century explorer who masterminded the first ever voyage to sail round the world and 'discovered' many new lands (even though loads of people already lived there!).
Find out why he was hated by royals and sailors alike; why he made one of his sailors dance with a giant and how his life was saved by a pot of jam.
Get to know Ferdinand on First Name terms.
