AFFONSO I. 115 rci'fjn, in i 540, one of these priests, Frci Alvaro, actuall}- attempted to assassinate the King, in church, and after Mass!^ The Portuguese h'ving at the time in Kongo were placed under a royal factor and a Corregedor (magis- trate), and enjoyed ex-territorial jurisdiction. They had a factory at Mpinda, at the mouth of the Kongo, where the King of Portugal levied heavy duties. The commercial relations do not appear to have been at all times of the most friendly nature. In 15 14... the King complained that Fernao de Mello, the Governor of S. Thome, traded with the Mpangu-lungu- who were his enemies ; and in 1526 he remonstrated against the conduct of the Portuguese slave- merchants. Indeed, so preposterous were the claims put forward by the Portuguese officials, that King Affonso, in 15 17, humbly begged to be allowed to employ a ship of his own when trading ; or, at least to be exempted from paying the heavy duties exacted by a foreign, albeit suzerain, power upon the outlanders trading in his kingdom.
