The Treaty of Zaragoza,
or Treaty
of Saragossa, also
referred to as the Capitulation of Zaragoza, was a peace treaty between the Spanish Crown and Portugal, signed on 22 April 1529 by King John III and the Emperor Charles V in the Aragonese city
of Zaragoza.
The treaty defined the areas of Castilian (Spanish) and
Portuguese influence in Asia to resolve the "Moluccas issue", when
both kingdoms claimed the Moluccas islands for themselves, considering it within their exploration area established
by the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494.
The conflict
sprang in 1520, when the expeditions of both kingdoms reached the Pacific
Ocean, since there was not a set limit to the east.
