Manuel da Silva Rosa

Manuel Rosa is a Luso-American IT analyst and author born in Pico Island, Azores, Portugal. He is an independent researcher and lecturer on the life of Christopher Columbus, who has published several controversial books and has been featured in Polish documentaries about Columbus.[1] He currently works as an IT analyst at Duke University.[2]

Writing in The Polish Review Krystyna Lukasiewicz commented on rumours that King Władysław III of Poland did not die in 1444 but hid on the island of Madeira. "Beginning in all probability around the time of Henrique's death, such rumors were for the first time recorded in the early eighteenth century. Further popularized by Leopold Kielanowski in the twentieth century, they became the starting point for a bizarre hypothesis that Christopher Columbus was actually the son of King Wladyslaw III Jagiellon hiding on Madeira under the name of Henrique Alemão." Rosa's Colón la Historia Nunca Contad was cited as supporting this hypothesis.[3]
