Background

Francisco de Jaso y Azpilicueta (aka Francis Xavier) was born the youngest son of Basque noble Juan de Jasso and heiress to the Javier title Maria de Azpilicueta y Javiera. His father was reputed to be a senior noble in the court of King John III of Navarre (1484-1516).

In 1512, when Francis was just sixteen (16)--the southern half of the Kingdom of Navarre was annexed by the forces of Ferdinand II of Aragon commanded by General Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo of Castile--in revenge for Navarre refusing to join the Holy League of Pope Julius II against France. The fief of Javier was then absorbed into the Kingdom of Castile.

In 1516, when Francis was twenty (20) years old, his father and brothers were instrumental in a failed rebellion against rule of Manrique de Lara, successfully retaking Pamploma for a brief period and killing de Lara. However, the Castillian (Spanish) Commander Íñigo de Loyola regrouped and succeeded in routing and capturing the rebels, including Francis and his family.

As reward for regaining control, de Loyola at 25 was rewarded as the new Viceroy and promptly began issuing harsh punishment to the rebel families, destroying their castles and executing whole families. But before he commenced these acts, he offered the leaders of the rebels to turn and work for him, specifically to establish a "police force".

The concept of small bands of well trained men living amongst the people and often dressing like them to control law and order, rather than living in barracks in larger groups was a radical idea for the times as it went against most "traditional" military theory of overwhelming force. However, de Loyola believed that direct military force alone could not control annexed Navarre.

When it came to the father of Francis he accepted the role as the first "police commissioner". The stories that de Loyola ordered the destruction of Javier Castle deliberate misinformation. It was almost certain that the castle was targetted by other noble families who considered Francis and his family as traitors. Only Francis survived.

While de Loyola hunted down and eliminated the rebel nobles responsible, Francis Xavier was offered and accepted the role of the second "police commissioner".

In a strict sense, Francisco Xavier cannot be technically considered a "Police Chief" as the word "Police" (from Latin Polus = "lesser" and ic.e = "strike force" in other words "small strike force") was not invented until the time of King Francis I in 1527 with the merging of the ancient offices of Constable and Marshal Provost into a new force known as the Police.

After his family had been murdered by the rebel nobles, Francis Xavier became wholly devoted to his role and service to de Loyola. So much so that when King Henry II to regain the remainder of Navarre in 1521 and attacked with force, its was Francis Xavier and his police force that drew valuable forces away from breaking the siege of the Pamploma Citadel and resulted in giving the rest of de Loyola's troops sufficient time to return and crush the French.

However, when de Loyola was replaced by Diego de Avellaneda in 1521 as Viceroy due to serious injury, the police force was also disbanded and Francis Xavier was forced to abandon occupied Navarre and travel in disguise north into French controlled Navarre and then to France.

In 1522, as de Loyola slowly recovered, Xavier sent word pleading for assistance, which Loyola did, ensuring Xavier had sufficient funds to travel to Paris and enter the famous University to complete his studies. By 1526, Francis Xavier had not only excelled at his studies but himself become a lecturer at the University.

In the same year, Loyola arrived in Paris as the official representative of the Emperor Charles V returning the vanquished King Francis I. Xavier and Loyola reunited and even Loyola himself briefly attended Paris University to further refine his strategies and ideas.

By 1527, Loyola assisted by Xavier successfully assisted in the establishment of the first official Police Force in history when King Francis I in 1527 merged the ancient offices of Constable and Marshal Provost into a new force known as Maréchaussée or, formally, the Constabulary and Marshalcy of France (connétablie et maréchaussée de France) - commonly known as the Police.

When Francis Borja, as the ally and emissary of Alessandro Farnese and the Venetians approached Loyola to undertake a dangerous mission in exchange for funding his vision of a great police force, Francis Xavier assisted in the planning and logistics.

On "Assumption Day" August 15, 1534, with the blessing of Francis Borja, Íñigo and the other six met in the crypt of the Chapel of St. Denis on, Montmartre in Paris and founded the Society of Gesu - "to attack the enemies of the church by any and all means, or to go without questioning wherever the pope might direct".

It is almost certain that Xavier was with Loyola in the Netherlands and their failed attempt to assassinate Emperor Charles V in 1534 as well as evading arrest to travel to Venice soon after.

Again, it is almost certain that Francis Xavier was instrumental in assisting Loyola in the formation of the Venetian Marine Corps by 1537, the "band of sea knights" and direct ancestors of the US Marine Corps. In the same year, Xavier along with the other companions of Loyola, or "loyals" took their vows and were ordained as Franciscan Priests at the Frari Basilica, swearing their allegience to the "Gray Pope" the Minister General and therefore to Venice and to its partnership with Rome as the Holy See.

In 1537, Xavier then travelled with Loyola and the other members of the Orders Friar Minor with their supporter Francis Borja to seek papal approval for their order. Pope Paul III confirmed the Jesuit Order through the bull Regimini militantis (September 27, 1540), but limited the number of its members to sixty. This limitation was removed through the bull Injunctum nobis on March 14, 1543.

A key strategic early mission for the Jesuits was to establish relations with emerging eastern dynasties that (with a little military help) could halt the growth of the Ottoman Empire. The main priority was the Mughal Empire and the power vacuum in the Persian region.

Francis Xavier was sent on this key mission with a band of Jesuits by 1541 east along the Mediterranean, then to Cairo, then Suez then south along Dead Sea and the coast of Arabia to Persia. To hide this mission and the key role of the Jesuits, this whole episode has been written out of history as Xavier and the Jesuits embarking on a ridiculous and journey circumnavigating Africa to Madagascar --contravening the most ancient and common routes to Iran and India (via Arabia) for thousands of years.

In spite of the stupidity and illogical nature of the claimed "1st journey" of Xavier and the Jesuits --against all commonly known trade and travel at the time-- the Jesuits and the Vatican steadfastly refuse to admit Xavier or any Jesuit ever set foot in Iran until some decades later.

Xavier and the remainder of his Jesuits made it to India by 1542 where he remained until 1545, returning back to Iran. Again to hide Iran, the Jesuits have since made up a whole history of Francis Xavier travelling back and forth along the Malacca straights.

In 1548, the highly disciplined Ottomons sensing the growing strength of the Safavid Tahmasp I with his Jesuit military advisors attacked and temporarily captured Tabriz. However, in an even greater "miracle", the Safavid were somehow successful in launching a counter attack and the "superior" Ottomons pushed back. As a reward for their assistance the Jesuits were granted the title for all the lands around the previous ruins of Ray, while Tahmasp I built his new capital at Qazvin around 145 km north-west of the 1st Jesuit land holding in all of Asia.

The Jesuits named their 1st ever trading post and land holding as an Order "Ter'gan" which in Hebrew means "blessed garden"--an anagram for Eden. We know the land given to the Jesuits today as the city of Tehran.

Francis Xavier then returned to India in 1548 this time bringing the Indian Mughal something he wanted-- a trade pact and treaty with the Safavid and Tahmasp I.

Fresh from the diplomatic success of building ties between Iran and India, Xavier arrived in Japan in 1549 where he remained until 1551, but failed to achieve any lasting diplomatic headway. Instead, he directed his attention towards China and by December landed on the Chinese island of Shangchuan but died in December 1552 at the age of 56.
