Dating Lemba's birth and death edit

I removed the reference to Lemba's uncited date of birth (previously given as December 24, 1540). I don't think I've ever seen a reference to this anywhere else - it does not exist on the interlanguage wikis (presently only Spanish) and it is not in the source for this article.[1] The death date is also unconfirmed as far as I know, and is stated as such in Rodriguez. Please notify me with any corrections, as this is an interest for my own teaching and research. Isaaccurtis (talk) 00:46, 18 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Pirate? edit

Also added citation needed for pirate, which I think should simply be deleted. I'm not sure what this could be a reference to - Lemba's nickname of "Captain" I believe was about military skill by land, not any connection to sea. It is not mentioned in the only source cited.
