Pedro Álvares Cabral (dyplomata)


Pedro Álvares Cabral, Marquis de Belmonte - Portuguese diplomat of the 18th century.

He was a Portuguese MP in Spain between 1735 and 1737. The incident of his involvement in Madrid on February 22, 1735 led to a temporary breakdown of diplomatic relations with Spain. The 19 members of the deputies' service were beaten up by the Madrid police on charges of murdering a local peasant, abusing the diplomatic immunity drastically, and hiding him in the building of the embassy. Cabral immediately wrote to the Council of Castile that they had done so without his knowledge that the guilty expelled from the ministry, and the peasant ordered him to leave the message. The Spaniards, however, had a pretense that, instead of giving it to the authorities, he let him escape.

Mediators were appointed British, French and Dutch diplomats, who agreed that the Portuguese colleague's behavior was inappropriate. Bibliography
