this was the battle of rio de janeiro - captain duguay-trouin forces were highly successful, freed duclerc's men, sacked the city, and demanded ransom in exchange for freeing rio de janeiro and sparing the defense from being destroyed.

ransom negotiations were held at 89 rua da quitanda, near the intersection with rua do sabão (soap street), now called rua do rosário - nowadays, rua da quitanda (quitanda street) is near two of rio's most important streets in the downtown financial area.
