Resumo: In 1566 a terrible event occurred in Madeira, with a raid by a band of pirates captained by the French Peyrot de Monluc. It is perhaps the only significant event related to piracy in the archipelago which was, moreover, well known by some of the most famous pirates and corsairs, Berbers or Europeans. Although Monluc died in the onslaught, his companions made a general plunder in Funchal, and then set sail unscathed. The onslaught on Madeira had the aid of Portuguese pilots, who would later be captured and hanged years later. Following this event, the court sent a fleet to go after the pirates, but upon arriving in Funchal, ended up looting almost as severe as the one perpetrated by the pirates. In the following years, the Portuguese court would seek reparations from France for what had happened, without ever having been compensated. King Sebastian, unwilling to marry with Margarida de Valois, sister of the King of France, would use the sack of Funchal and the lack of reparations on the part of France to decline any conversation regarding the projected marriage. Keywords Madeira; Pirates; Peyrot de Monluc; King Sebastian.

Keywords Madeira; Pirates; Peyrot de Monluc; King Sebastian.Em 1566 um evento terrível ocorreu na Madeira, com uma incursão por um bando de piratas capitaneados pelo francês Peyrot de Monluc. É talvez o único evento significativo relacionado com pirataria no arquipélago, o qual era, de resto, sobejamente conhecido por alguns dos mais famosos piratas e corsários, berberescos ou europeus. Apesar de Monluc ter morrido na investida, os seus companheiros realizaram um saque generalizado no Funchal, tendo depois zarpado incólumes. A investida à Madeira teve o apoio de pilotos portugueses, os quais viriam anos mais tarde a ser capturados e justiçados. Na sequência deste evento, é enviada uma frota para ir no encalço dos piratas que, ao chegar ao Funchal, acabou por realizar um saque quase tão grave quanto o perpetrado pelos piratas. A corte portuguesa haveria nos anos seguintes de pedir reparações a França pelo sucedido, sem nunca ter sido ressarcida. D. Sebastião, pouco desejoso de contrair matrimónio com Margarida de Valois, irmã do rei de França, haveria de usar o saque do Funchal e a falta de reparações por parte de França para declinar qualquer conversação relativa ao projetado matrimónio.
