[457] Luiz de Camoëns (1517 or 1525-1579), author of the _Lusiad_ which treats of the exploits of Vasco da Gama, spent many years in India and in exile in Macao, where he wrote his principal poem. On his return from banishment, he was wrecked off the coast of Cochin China, where he is said to have lost all he possessed, except the manuscript of the _Lusiad._--T. [458] Guillaume le Breton (_circa_ 1165-_circa_ 1220), the historian of Philip Augustus.
