Salvador Ribeiro de Sousa was an influential figure in the Early Modern Historical Period of Burma. He played a role in helping Filipe de Brito e Nicote, Nga Zinga, in defeating the Kingdoms of Arakan and Pegu, and in setting up a Pseudo-Portuguese Colony in the remnants of those kingdoms. He was awarded the Commander of the Military Order of Christ and was unofficially elected King of Pegu by the Burmese people. He also received the title "Quiay Massinga" (god on earth)[1].

Much of what is written about him comes from Father Manuel de Abreu Mousinho, an unknown character, who originally wrote about Ribeiro in Castilian Spanish. His work was then translated by another unknown author into Portuguese under the title "Brief Discourse."[2]
