paragraph: Blowfly (musician)

paragraph: Clarence Henry Reid (February 14, 1939 – January 17, 2016) was an American musician, songwriter and producer, also known by the stage name and alternate persona Blowfly.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Reid was born in Cochran, Georgia, in 1939. During the 1960s and 1970s he wrote for and produced artists including Betty Wright, Sam & Dave, Gwen McCrae, Jimmy "Bo" Horne, Bobby Byrd, and KC & the Sunshine Band. During this period he was also a recording artist, cutting many of his own songs, including "Nobody But You Babe".

paragraph: Reid wrote sexually explicit versions of hit songs for fun but only performed them for his friends at parties or in the studio. In 1971, he along with a band of studio musicians, recorded a whole album of these songs under the name Blowfly. The album, "The Weird World of Blowfly", features Reid dressed as a low-rent supervillain on its cover. He created this alter ego to protect his career as a songwriter, and continued to perform in bizarre costumes as his Blowfly character and record sexually explicit albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The albums were widely popular as "party records". The explicit version of his song "Rapp Dirty" (a.k.a. "Blowfly's Rapp") helped the album "Blowfly's Party" reach No. 26 on "Billboard Magazine"'s black albums chart and No. 82 on the Billboard Top 200 in 1980.

paragraph: Blowfly's profane style earned Reid legal trouble. He was sued by songwriter Stanley Adams, who was ASCAP president at the time, for spoofing "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" as "What a Difference a Lay Makes". Reid's own compositions have been sampled by dozens of hip hop, R&B, and electronic artists (such as Beyonce, Wu Tang Clan, DJ Quik, DMX, Method Man & Redman, Main Source, DJ Shadow, Eazy-E, RJD2, Jurassic 5, Big Daddy Kane, Mary J. Blige, Brand Nubian, and the Avalanches) but Reid received almost no money from sampling due to signing away most of his royalties.

paragraph: Blowfly's "Zodiac Blowfly" LP (also released on CD in 1996 on Weird World Records) includes the songs "If Eating You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right", "The First Time Ever You Sucked My Dick", and "Ain't No Head Like My Woman's Head", as well as a version of "Clean Up Woman", which he co-wrote. Another album of this period is "The Weird World of Blowfly".

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.:2000s.

paragraph: In 2003, Blowfly sold the rights to his entire catalog after years of debt. The catalog was said to be worth millions of unpaid royalties.

paragraph: After 17 years of sporadic touring and occasional re-recording of his classic raps, Blowfly signed with Jello Biafra's independent record label Alternative Tentacles in 2005. "Fahrenheit 69", the first album under the new contract, featured appearances from Slug of Atmosphere, King Coleman, Gravy Train, and Afroman.

paragraph: "Blowfly's Punk Rock Party", a 2006 album release from Alternative Tentacles, features several punk rock classics given the Blowfly treatment—including a rewrite of the Dead Kennedys song "Holiday in Cambodia" recast as "R. Kelly in Cambodia", which features Biafra (the song's composer and original singer) playing a trial judge. The album also includes "I Wanna Be Fellated", "Gotta Keep Her Penetrated", "I Wanna Fuck Your Dog" and "Should I Fuck This Big Fat Ho?".

paragraph: Blowfly completed his first tour of Australia in March 2007, and toured Germany with Die Ärzte in 2008. He performed at the 2010 Big Day Out music festival, held in Australia and New Zealand.

paragraph: "The Weird World of Blowfly", directed by Jonathan Furmanski, premiered at South by Southwest in 2010 and received a wider release in September 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.:Illness and death.

paragraph: On January 12, 2016, Blowfly drummer "Uncle" Tom Bowker announced in a statement on the Blowfly Facebook page that Reid was suffering from terminal liver cancer and had been admitted to a hospice facility in Florida. According to Bowker, the singer would release his final LP – entitled "77 Rusty Trombones" – in February 2016. Reid died on January 17, 2016, from cancer and multiple organ failure at the hospice facility in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, aged 76.

paragraph: Ottone del Carretto

paragraph: Ottone del Carretto (died 1237×42), a patron of troubadours and an imperialist, was the margrave of Savona (c.1185–91) and "podestà" of the Republic of Genoa (1194–95) and of Asti (1212). He was the founder of the Del Carretto family.

paragraph: Section::::Childhood.

paragraph: The earliest record of Ottone dates to 1179, when he subscribed with his younger brother, Enrico (II), to the charter of their father, Enrico Guercio, whereby the commune of Savona was granted fiscal and judicial independence. In 1181, the brothers again subscribed their father's chater, this time granting the commune of Noli the right to hold a market and to fortify itself, in return for the commune's recognition of the marquis's suzerainty, including the right to fodder and the ban.

paragraph: The same year (1181), Ottone, still a minor, witnessed the treaty between Manfred II of Saluzzo, his relative, and the commune of Alba. As a result of this agreement, Manfred released some merchants of Alba whom he had been holding hostage.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Inheritance.

paragraph: The first act of Ottone and Enrico after they had come of age was to swear to the "Compagna" of the Republic of Genoa, on 20 July 1182, that they would reside in the city for three months of the year during time of war and for one month a year during peacetime. After the death of Enrico Guercio, between 1184 and 1186, the brothers divided their inheritance. Whether this was in accordance with their father's testament or of their own accord is unclear. Both brothers held the title "margrave ("marchio") of Savona".

paragraph: Ottone, as the elder brother, took Savona, the lordships of Albisola and Quiliano and the castles of Cairo, Dego and Cortemiglia. These villages lay on the road from coastal Savona to the subalpine Langhe. The cities of Savona and Noli were now largely independent of seignorial authority, and in the former the family's power was wielded most effectively by the bishop, Ambrogio, another younger brother of Ottone.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Loss of Savona.

paragraph: On 10 April 1191 Ottone sold to the commune of Savona all his banal rights and patrimony in the city's territory—except the castellanies of Quiliano and Albisola, the latter being a fief of William V of Montferrat—for 1,500 "lire" of Genoa. The independence of Savona was confirmed by a diploma of the Emperor Henry VI on 18 November. The margrave continued to be influential in the city, however. In 1193, Ambrogio died and the cathedral elected another brother, Boniface, to replace him. In 1202, Ottone's son Ugo (Hugh) served a term as "podestà" of Savona.

paragraph: Ottone now resided mostly in Carretto, a castle near Cairo. From this he began to take the name "de Carreto" in documents, replacing the usage of "margrave of Savona". On 22 November 1192, he completed the process begun the previous year and sold Quiliano and his rights in Albisola to Savona for 5,000 Genoese "lire". The next year (1193), Ottone's wife, Alda, a daughter of the Crusader lord Hugh III of Giblet of the Embriaco family, appears in the record for the first time when she ratified the sale of Quiliano and Albisola.

paragraph: From the sale of his rights in Savona and his control of the trade route from the city to the mountains, Ottone gained enormous wealth. He turned his court into a centre of culture, capable of competing with that of the margraves of Montferrat, and he patronised Occitan poets. His patrimony served as a "buffer state" between the margraviate of Montferrat and the nascent subalpine communes, like Alba and Asti. This placed him at the centre of the regional diplomatic web, and he had good relations with Asti, Genoa and Montferrat.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Alliance with Montferrat.

paragraph: In 1194 Ottone joined Boniface I of Montferrat and the Republic of Genoa in aiding Henry VI in his conquest of Sicily, which he claimed in right of his wife, Constance. Ottone, in accordance with his oath of 1182, was staying in Genoa when the "podestà", Oberto di Olevano, died of a fever. Ottone was chosen to succeed him in an impromptu election, where legal forms were not followed. Henry VI had promised Genoa as a reward for its services Syracuse and the Val di Noto in Sicily, but he used the illegality of Ottone's election as an excuse to not hand over the territories. The next year (1195), the Genoese chose a man from Milan to replace Ottone as "podestà".

paragraph: In 1196 Ottone witnessed the act of infeudation by which Manfredi Lancia was enfeoffed to Boniface of Montferrat.

paragraph: When war broke out in 1198 between Montferrat and the allied communes of Asti and Alessandria, Ottone and his brother Enrico joined Boniface and served guarantors for his alliance with the commune of Ivrea. In 1199 he stood as a witness to the treaty of peace signed at San Germano in the Casalese between Boniface and the communes of Asti, Alessandria and Vercelli. He took from Alessandria the castle of Montechiaro. Later that year, in August, he witnessed the peace treaty between Manfredi Lancia and the commune of Alba. In 1200, he witnessed the act whereby the lords of Manzano gave their castle to Alba.

paragraph: After Boniface of Montferrat left on the Fourth Crusade, Ottone entered into an alliance with Alba. In March 1202 he signed an agreement with Alessandria whereby he would buy land in the city and contribute soldiers to its militia. The commune committed to preventing the formation of an independent town between Bestagno and Santo Stefano. In 1203 Alba and Alessandria agreed to renounce armed intervention against Ottone or his brother Enrico. In 1204, Ottone and Enrico joined William VI of Montferrat, the Del Vasto family, the commune of Alba and the seignorial league of the Astisio in a grand alliance against the communes of Asti and Cuneo.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Alliance with Asti and Genoa.

paragraph: On 6 July 1209 Ottone reached an understanding with Asti. He ceded the commune all his possessions in the Po Valley—including Castano, Cortemiglia, Torre di Bormida and Torre Uzzone—for 1,000 Genoese "lire" and received them back as fiefs: "as a military and hereditary fief" ("in rectum et gentile feudum") in the words of the charter. As a result of this treaty, Ottone was forced to close the highway passing through this territory to merchants from Alba. In 1210 Ottone was a witness to the imperial privileges granted to Asti by the Emperor Otto IV during his stay there. Ottone followed the imperial court to Turin, where he witnessed an imperial diploma in favour of the monastery of Casanova.

paragraph: When conflict broke out between Otto IV and the heir of Henry VI, Frederick Roger, Ottone followed Asti in siding with Frederick. In 1212 he was elected "podestà" of Asti. After leaving office, Ottone, with the agreement of his son Ugo, ceded to Genoa the castles of Cairo and Dego and half of the castle of Carcare, among other places, with all their banal rights, and agreed to respect the alliances the city had made. He promptly received the castles back as fiefs: "so-called military and hereditary fiefs" ("nomine recti et gentilis feudi") in the words of the charter. The chief purpose of Ottone's friendship to the citie of Asti and Genoa was to keep the trade route that passed through his territory open and to maintain a good link with the powerful margraves of Montferrat. In 1217 Ottone secured the passage of Asti's goods to Savona, and in 1218 he swore an oath to the latter city that he would own a house there and recruit men for service in the commune.

paragraph: In 1219 Ottone witnessed the treaty of alliance between Manfred III of Saluzzo and Asti. When the town of Ventimiglia rebelled against Genoa that same year, Ottone and his brother Enrico joined the Genoese army that besieged the rebellious town. On 22 November 1220 Ottone attended the imperial coronation of Frederick in Rome. In response to Genoa's pleas, Frederick confirmed their lordship over Ventimiglia and charged Ottone with imposing the same. After his envoys to Ventimiglia were jailed, Ottone pronounced the imperial ban on the city, prohibiting any other imperial subject from coming to its aid.

paragraph: Ottone's only break with Genoa came shortly after this. Genoa had arbitrated a dispute over the castle of Pareto between Enrico di Ussecio and Ottone del Bosco in favour of Enrico. Ottone's son Ugo, related to the Del Bosco family, occupied Pareto with the support of his father. Enrico responded by selling the castle to Genoa. The republic's army failed to take the castle in its first expedition, but its second succeeded. Ottone was forced to go to Genoa and renew his oath to the republic and confirm the cession of Dego and Cairo. When Genoese men came to possess these last two places, Ugo put up resistance and was again defeated. Ottone was forced to pay compensation to the republic.

paragraph: In 1224 Ottone witnessed a new treaty between Manfred III of Saluzzo and Asti. In 1225 he witnessed a treaty between his brother Enrico and Asti. In that year war broke out between the Asti–Genoa alliance on the one hand and the other communes of the Po Valley on the other. Ottone and Enrico joined the Genoese army going to Asti's defence at Gavi Ligure. There Ottone renewed his treaty of 1209 with Asti, securing his continued control of the trade routes. In 1226 he and Enrico promised to recognise the treaty between Genoa and the emperor. When Frederick II came to Italy in 1227, the communes of the Po Valley rose in revolt against Genoa, hoping for imperial assistance. Enrico joined the revolt, while Ottone joined the Genoese army sent to the Riviera di Ponente to put down the revolt. He was present when the castle of Stella was surrendered. He was also at Savona in May when Enrico was forced to surrender. That same year he stood as guarantor to Boniface II of Montferrat for the alliance of Genoa and Asti in an effort to prevent Alessandrian expansion.

paragraph: In August 1228 Ottone witnessed a military treaty between Genoa and Asti. In November he swore before the two communes and the members of the Del Vasto network that he would close his highway to merchants from Alessandria and Alba and not make a separate peace with either commune.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Final years.

paragraph: Ottone's final years were spent mostly on internal affairs, but he maintained his contacts with Asti and the emperor. Within his own fiefs, he converted the myriad obligations of the inhabitants of the towns and villages into annual rents. In November 1233 he renounced his rights at Cortemiglia to fodder and to the goods of those who died intestate ("ab intestato") in exchange for an annual rent. The same exchange was made in Cairo in light of the town's "weakness, vulnerability and poverty" ("debilitatem, passibilitatem et paupertatem").

paragraph: About 1234 the Emperor Frederick II granted an imperial vicariate to Ottone, although the exact nature of this appointment is unknown. Ottone, acting as vicar, did grant to a certain Guglielmo Piloso di Santa Vittoria the right to impose a toll on the road that passed through his domains.

paragraph: In 1235 Ottone sold his rights at Dego to a certain Giovanni Embriaco for 500 Genoese "lire". That same year the monastery of San Pietro di Mesema challenged his sale of rights in Cairo in 1233, claiming that certain lands and the tithes collected in the territory, which earlier in 1235 Ottone had confirmed to the people of Cairo, belonged to the monastery. Finally, that year the Hospitaller priory of Lombardy claimed the tithes of Rocchetta in Ottone's domain belonged to them. The case was referred to Ugo, schoolmaster ("magiscola") of the cathedral of Genoa.

paragraph: Ottone's last recorded act was to arbitrate a dispute between the commune of Asti and the lords of Calamandrana and Canelli in 1237. The date of his death is not recorded, but it must have been in or before 1242. His eldest son, Ugo (Hugh), was the "podestà" of Savnoa in 1202, of Asti in 1212 and 1225 and of Alba in 1217. He predeceased his father in 1228. His second son, Enrico (Henry), married Beatrice, daughter of Boniface I of Montferrat. A third son, Manfredo (Manfred), is only attested in one document of 1242 in the "Codex Astensis".

paragraph: Section::::Patronage of troubadours.

paragraph: Ottone was a patron of several troubadours, composers of Old Occitan lyric poetry. He is prominent in the "vida" (short vernacular biography) of Peire de la Mula. In one manuscript his name is given as "miser N'Ot del Carret" ("mister Lord Otto of Carretto"), in another as "messer Ot del Caret", without the title "lord" (Occitan "en" or "n′"). There are allusions in the work of Peire de la Mula that may place Falquet de Romans at the court of Ottone del Carretto also. It was probably there, between 1220 and 1226, that Falquet wrote a "sirventes" urging the emperor to "rescue" the Holy Land. The charter of Ottone dated November 1233 was witnessed by one "Guillelmus de la Turri", possibly the same person as the troubadour Guilhem de la Tor. Palaizi and Bernart de Bondeills may also have stayed at Ottone's court. The troubadours were unanimous in praising their host as brave and generous.

paragraph: Botong Francisco

paragraph: Carlos Modesto "Botong" Villaluz Francisco (November 4, 1912 – March 31, 1969) was a muralist from Angono, Rizal.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Francisco was a most distinguished practitioner of mural painting for many decades and best known for his historical pieces. He was one of the first Filipino modernists along with Galo Ocampo and Victorio C. Edades who broke away from Fernando Amorsolo's romanticism of Philippine scenes. According to restorer Helmuth Josef Zotter, Francisco's art "is a prime example of linear painting where lines and contours appear like cutouts."

paragraph: He was responsible for the discovery of the now famous Angono Petroglyphs in 1965. He was also involved in Costume Design in Philippine cinema.

paragraph: His great works include portrayals of the Blood Compact, First Mass at Limasawa, The Martyrdom of Rizal, Bayanihan, Magpupukot, Fiesta, Bayanihan sa Bukid, Sandugo, Portrait of Purita, The Invasion of Limahong, Serenade, and Muslim Betrothal. Some of his murals have suffered big damage over the years. The "Pageant of Commerce" emerged from several years of restoration in 2000.

paragraph: His murals, The Progress of Medicine in the Philippines, was restored for the 3rd time in 2007 and is currently residing in the National Art Gallery of the Philippines. A high-quality replica of the mural is also located at its previous location at the lobby of the Philippine General Hospital.

paragraph: Ian D'Sa

paragraph: Ian D'Sa (born October 30, 1975) is an English-born Canadian guitarist for the band Billy Talent. He is of Goan background.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Ian was born in the suburb of Southall, London UK. His family moved to Canada when he was 3 years old. He grew up in Mississauga, Ontario learning guitar at the age of 13. He attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School. In 1991 he formed a band named Dragonflower with some fellow schoolmates. After Dragonflower broke up he formed another band named Soluble Fish and recorded a five song demo entitled Nugget Sauces. He eventually met Benjamin Kowalewicz, Jonathan Gallant and Aaron Solowoniuk in 1993 at a high school talent show.

paragraph: Eric Malpass

paragraph: Eric Lawson Malpass (14 November 1910 – 16 October 1996) was an English novelist noted for his humorous and witty descriptions of rural family life, in particular that of his creation,the extended Pentecost family. However, Malpass also wrote historical fiction, ranging in scope from the late Middle Ages to Edwardian England. Malpass acquired his most devoted readership on the Continent, particularly in Germany, where most of his books were translated.

paragraph: Born in Derby and educated at King Henry VIII School, Coventry, Malpass, while writing in his spare time, worked for Barclays Bank in Long Eaton, Derbyshire. He would return home after a day's work and spend the evening writing. He was a regular contributor to Argosy, a short story magazine although it took him many years before he was first published. Many other short story magazines took his work and in 1955 he won the "Observer" short story competition. His first book, "Beefy Jones", soon followed, and then "Morning's at Seven" which received good reviews in the UK – but poor sales – and topped the best seller list of "Der Spiegel" in Germany. It remained at the top of the list for three years, after which it was stipulated that no book could remain there for so long in future. After his initial successes, especially with "Morning's at Seven", he turned to writing full-time. The bank refused initially to accept his resignation, then said he would forfeit his pension and only changed its mind after very protracted discussions. Married, with one son, two granddaughters and five great grandchildren, he lived in Long Eaton until five years before his death when he moved to Bishop's Waltham in Hampshire.

paragraph: Nicolas, Duke of Mercœur

paragraph: Nicolas of Lorraine, Duke of Mercœur (16 October 1524 – 23 January 1577) was the second son of Antoine, Duke of Lorraine and Renée de Bourbon.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was originally destined for an ecclesiastical career, being made bishop of Metz in 1543 and of Verdun in 1544. In June 1545, he became joint "tutor and administrator" for his nephew, Charles III, Duke of Lorraine, with his sister-in-law Christina of Denmark. However, the Estates of Lorraine, in November 1545, removed him in favor of Christina as sole regent. He opposed her pro-Imperial policies. Resigning his dioceses in 1548 in favor of his uncle Jean, Cardinal of Lorraine, he took the title "Count of Vaudémont".

paragraph: After seizure of the Three Bishoprics in 1552 by Henry II of France, he was re-appointed as sole regent for his nephew, a position he retained until 1559.

paragraph: In 1551, Nomeny was detached from the Bishopric of Metz and given to him as a margraviate by Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor in 1567, in right of which he was recognized as an independent, hereditary Prince of the Empire (the House of Lorraine would obtain a full vote in the Imperial Diet in 1736 for Nomeny in compensation for cession of the Duchy of Lorraine to France—in addition to acquisition of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany).

paragraph: In France, his mother's barony of Mercœur was likewise elevated to the status of a princedom (though not independent of the French crown) in 1563, and raised to a ducal peerage in 1569. He was also created a knight of the Order of Saint Esprit.

paragraph: He married thrice. His first marriage, on 1 May 1549 in Brussels, was to Marguerite d'Egmont (1517 – 10 March 1554, Bar-le-Duc), daughter of Count Jean IV of Egmont. By her he had one son and three daughters:

paragraph: BULLET::::4. Louise of Lorraine (30 April 1553, Nomeny – 29 January 1601, Château de Moulins), married on 13 February 1575, at Reims, Henry III of France.

paragraph: His second marriage was on 24 February 1555 at Fontainebleau, to Joanna of Savoy (1532–1568), daughter of Philippe, Duke of Nemours. By this marriage he had four sons and two daughters:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Philippe Emmanuel of Lorraine, Duke of Mercœur (1558–1602).

paragraph: BULLET::::2. Charles de Lorraine (20 April 1561, Nomeny – 29 October 1587, Paris), known as the Cardinal de Vaudémont, Bishop of Toul and of Verdun.

paragraph: BULLET::::4. Marguerite of Lorraine (14 May 1564, Nomeny – 20 September 1625), married on 24 September 1581 in Paris Anne, Duke of Joyeuse (1561–1587), married on 31 May 1599 François de Luxemburg, Duke of Piney (d. 1613).

paragraph: BULLET::::5. Claude of Lorraine (b. 12 April 1566, Nomeny), d. young.

paragraph: BULLET::::6. François of Lorraine (15 September 1567 – 1596, Châtel-sur-Moselle), Marquis of Chaussin.

paragraph: His third marriage was on 11 May 1569 at Reims, to Catherine of Lorraine (1550–1606), daughter of Claude, Duke of Aumale.

paragraph: By her he had three sons and two daughters:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Henri of Lorraine (31 July 1570, Nancy – 26 October 1600, Vienna), Marquis of Mouy and Count of Chaligny, married on 19 September 1585 Claude de Mouy.

paragraph: Alexandre de Gusmão

paragraph: Alexandre de Gusmão (Santos, 17 July 1695 – Lisbon, 9 May 1753) was a diplomat born in the Portuguese colony of Brazil. He is regarded as one of the best diplomats of his time, chiefly for his role in negotiating the Treaty of Madrid in 1750 (revoked in 1761), when Portugal and Spain were attempting to delimit their territorial possessions in South America and Asia. Born in the city of Santos, he may be considered one of the precursors of the application of the principles of Illuminism to international relations, adopting the principle of "uti possidetis", according to which each state has the right to the land that it actually occupies, as well as the idea of "natural boundaries", which suggests the use of prominent geographical accidents – such as rivers and mountain ranges – to set the limits between states. He graduated in Law and was the representative of Portugal to various states, among which Rome, where he came to be invited to join Pope Innocent XIII's court. He was also a brother of Bartolomeu de Gusmão, a priest and naturalist recalled for his early work on lighter-than-air airship design (balloons).

paragraph: Section::::Treaty of Madrid Negotiations.

paragraph: During the period of the Iberian Union (1580–1640), due to the Portuguese dynastic succession crisis, Portugal and all its territorial possessions in Africa, Asia and the Americas came under the control of the Philippine Dynasty, of Spain. Because both countries had come under the same rule, there ceased to be boundaries between their territories in their colonies, which had been established by the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) in America and the Treaty of Zaragoza (1529) in Asia. Hence, the colonial explorers (bandeirantes) from the Portuguese colony of Brazil expanded westwards into the centre of the continent, occupying what was once Spanish and Amerindian territory. In Asia, on the other hand, Spanish explorers expanded to occupy territory which had been attributed to Portugal under the Treaty of Zaragoza.

paragraph: When the union of the two crowns ended, in 1640, there was the need to renegotiate the boundaries of both territories, and Portugal's interest was to preserve its new possessions in America, while Spain wished to return to the limits defined by the Treaty of Tordesillas and the Treaty of Zaragoza, which had never been officially revoked.

paragraph: By means of studies submitted to the Spanish Court, Gusmão proved that while Portugal had breached the Tordesillas Line, with the Portuguese occupying part of the Amazon basin and the Center-West of South America, Spain had breached the Zaragoza Line by expanding its possessions in Asia, taking the Philippines, the Marianas and the Moluccas, which were once Portuguese. Alexandre de Gusmão successfully argued that the losses of one kingdom in one region had been compensated by its gains in another, and that the principle for territorial division should be the effective occupation of the land ("uti possidetis"). Through ample documentation and efficient negotiation, he thus managed to secure for Portugal (and, after independence, for Brazil) most of the current Brazilian territory.
