Charles-V was the Holy Roman Emperor
of Italy as well as those of Portugal and Spain.In 1519, Charles-V granted
a Slaving license to his friend Gorrevod( Ref.The Slave trade: The Story of The
Atlantic Slave-Trade; 1440-1870, by Hugh Thomas).
Satguru Nanak Sahib became the
slave in order to release other slaves kept in a fort in Seville( Spain), and
brought from real India.Almighty satguru was meditating, his hands were tied and
face was covered with a piece of cloth and small ropes. Mardana Ji were also
treated the same way. Almighty Satguru went to some other rooms of the castle to
get some help.One co-slave came forward, but it happens to be a lady. She managed
to cut the all the ropes with her teeth. In this process, some marks of woman's
colour on her mouth left on the for head of Satguru. People thought that this
woman had an intimate relation with this Indian Saint( Almighty Satguru). For
your kind information. Satguru Nanak Sahib was called" Saint" from India and
Bhai Sahib Mardana Ji was called as His music assisstant( ref." Sandy's Travels:
Containing The Original And Present State of The Turkish Empire, by George
Sandy, published by Crown in Little Britain, London,
1673).
The woman was abused by the people and repudiated by her husband.This woman came to Satguru Nanak Sahib, one day after this incident, and said" I have upon the way of God, rendered thee a service, and now they revile me for it. Satguru uttered" Choran Yaran Randian Kutania Diban-----" Mahalla-I, Var Suhi. He told her that this is the behaviour of Kalyug. By the way, the key of the castle(fort) got lost.Satguru Nanak Sahib answered" Tomorrow the gate of the fort be shut, but shall not be opened unless thou appliest thy hand to it". The next day inspite of all efforts to open the gate, they could not succeed and remained in great consternation.Men and beast far from water, could not go out. The inhabitants addressed themselves to all men who had a reputation, but their prayers were in vain. At last they had a recourse to Satguru Nanac Sahib, and said" O durvish, what is there to be done?". He answered " The gate shall not be opened except by the hand of a woman who never lost her virtue with a stranger". The inhabitants brought all the women who had a reputation for chastity to the gate of fort(Seville,Spain), but it remained shut: on that account they sat down hopeless. At the time of evening prayer came at last the friend of Baba Nanac to the gate.The people laughed at her; her husband her relations were ashamed and abused her.The woman, without listening to the speeches of the people, struck gate with her hand,and it opened. All men were astonished and ashamed: they fell at the feet of the woman." ( ref. Dabistan-i- Majhahib, by Mohsin Fani (1645), and by courtsey of the book" Guru Nanak in The Eyes of Non-Sikhs, by Sarjit Singh Bal, published by Publication Bureau. Panjab University Chandigarh, 1969).
The biggest proof for Saguru's visit to Portugal and Spain and North _East Africa etc. is the last Swayya of Bhatt regarding Satguru's visit to the west. Due to our ignorence and depth of the Gurbani, we are relating the different words in this Holy Swayya to different RishisThe actual meaning of this Holy Swayya is obtained through some references found in the history of Spain and Holy Roman Empire.
The last Swayya
of the the Bhatt Kal confirms "Swayye Mahalle Pahle Ke---"Gun Gaway Nav Nath

( Ref PP 210 of
Mahan Kosh). And"Gur Parmeshar Eko Jaan" Sarang Mahalla-V of SGGS. Full meaning
of This Holy Swayya is given below.
The
whole world (Nav Khands), worship the Almighty God, because God is every
where. The both sides of the Equator remember God, and Satguru Nanak Sahib went
there to make them realised that God is every where and in every human being or
animal, whether one is boss or his subortinate. None has the right to enslave
others.( Jen Chkrway Kahao). Every one should remember Him (The real Powerful King
of this universe), when one is in power or when his voice becomes weak. Every
place is filled with His Holy Name. Satguru Nank Sahib visted Doorba (Geographical
Range), to preach everyone that God is in every one, and nobody has the right to
enslave others, and every one is like brother and sister. God is in Doorba Region
of this world, in the East lands, in North Pole, In South pole. This means we
should remember that God is in all directions. The poet Kal says that Satguru
Nanak Sahib has gone in all directions to spread the goodwill of God, Who is the
basis of all creachers and a source
of`Sahaj`.

Portuguese were one of the first foreigners to arrive in India after Vascodigama discovered a passage to India from Europe. They arrived sometime around when Guru Nanak was born. Even though they tried to spread Christianity in India through Goa , I am wondering if any of these visitors wrote about Sikhs in India. Now that there are a lot of Sikhs in In Lisbon and other cities in Portugal, such a research should be possible.
