"A number of people of English, Scottish and Irish extraction had lived in Madeira since the fifteenth century...The pioneer English merchant was Robert Willoughby who arrived in Funchal as a young man about 1590. He was a staunch Catholic, and much in favour in Lisbon and Madrid and was buried at the Franciscan convent in Funchal. More important was William Ray who in 1620 paid more duty for goods exported from Funchal than any other merchant - though it needs to be remembered that Portuguese merchants exporting goods in Portuguese ships were not subject to duty.
