Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1608, de Brito and his men plundered the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Burma, removing its 300-ton Great Bell of Dhammazedi. However, while attempting to transport the bell on a raft across the Bago River, the bell's weight broke through the raft and it sank to the river bottom, where it remains to this day. For his actions, de Brito was later captured and executed by the Burmese in 1613.[1]
After de Brito's death, the story of his theft and loss of the Great Bell spread throughout Southeast Asia, where in 1725, the Japanese mercenary Nagamasa mentioned the tale while discussing Burma with the members of the Zhang Wei Union.[2]
