finished all his troubles without seeing any satisfaction of them.'[10] [Footnote 10: Albuquerque's _Commentaries_, vol. iv. p. 196.] The corpse of the great governor was at once conveyed to Goa and 'so great was the crying and weeping on all sides, that it seemed as if the very river of Goa was being poured out.'[11] [Footnote 11: Albuquerque's _Commentaries_, vol. iv. p. 198.] The body was conveyed to the Chapel of Our Lady of the Conception, which he had founded outside the gates of Goa on the spot where he had witnessed the second capture of the city. 'There accompanied the procession,' it is recorded in the _Commentaries_, 'all the people of the city, not only Christians, but Hindus and Moors [Muhammadans], who filled the streets, demonstrating by the profusion of their tears the great sorrow they felt at his death. As for the Hindus, when they beheld his body stretched upon the bier, with his long beard reaching down to his waist, and his eyes half open, they declared, after their heathen notions, that it could not be that he was dead, {143} but that God had need of him for some war, and had therefore sent for him.'[12] [Footnote 12: Albuquerque's _Commentaries_, vol. iv. p. 198.] His son, according to the last wishes of the great captain, desired to remove the body of Affonso de Albuquerque to Portugal, but King Emmanuel would never consent, saying that as long as the bones of Affonso de Albuquerque were at Goa India was secure. John III held the same view, and it was not until 1566, more than fifty years after his death, that his remains were removed to Portugal by permission of Queen Catherine, who was then Regent in the name of the boy-king, Dom Sebastian. They were then solemnly interred in the Chapel of Our Lady of Grace at Lisbon, attached to the Augustinian monastery, where they still repose. The deeds of Albuquerque form his fittest memorial, and in the next chapter an attempt will be made to examine his character as exhibited by his internal policy. Nevertheless it is interesting to quote here his son's description of his person and his character as given in the _Commentaries_.
