I agree that in terms of his genealogy (family origins) de Haro might have
been something like Basque.
But a large portion of his life and career and for his brother
(Diogo) also was spent in the Portuguese society not that of Spain which would
explain the distrust of de Haro and Riberio inside certain parts of the
Spanish bureaucracy in the 1520s.
I still believe preponderant portion of the financing for Magellan's
voyage was from de Haro not the Spanish Crown. In any case, we should
double-check to be sure.
As far as the unfolding of the nomenclature for the Strait, I stand
by my analysis in my book The Magellan Myth and also that there was
sufficient time for knowledge for information dissemination about the Battle
of
Cannanore (March 1506) and a one-time stealth Portuguese expedition along a
good portion of the west coast of South America in the 1501-1506 time frame
to become known in Lisbon and also Saint-Die, --although in the former case
(Cannanore) the time line window is much narrower or tighter than in the
latter case -- Portuguese knowledge of the distinctive physical configuration
of South America -- namely, its ice cream cone shape as one can clearly
see in my Majestic Lenox-Rosselli-Waldseemueller Cartographic
Troika/Triumverate which emerged independently in various parts of Europe in
the
1506-1508 period.
