📅 10 Mart 1684 📍 Venezuela

A report to the Crown discussed a dispute involving an enslaved Black man captured by an enemy and then escaped from that captor. The catalog description preserves neither the man’s name nor the final outcome. Even in this thin administrative trace, escape is the decisive action: the man is not simply a captive transferred between powers but someone who broke away from captivity.
