most felt that his estimation of how large the earth is was faulty. In fact, he was turned down for funds by the Kings of Portugal, France, and England, and 1486 when King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella rejected funding his trip twice. It wasn't until 1491 that he finally received assistance and funding for his expedition from Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile.

Conquest of paradise 1992 Conquest of paradise 1992 is a movie that strives to see Christopher Columbus as a more intricate and human than any other character. Columbus represents a historical figure and employs equality in his treatment for the Indians and the Spanish nobleman and is contented with the fact that nature and not the God of the Catholics is their deity. As the main character, Columbus represents those individuals who get an idea in their heads and do not surrender it and this makes

Queen Isabella once said, "I will assume the undertaking for my own crown of Castile, and am ready to pawn my jewels to defray the expenses of it, if the funds in the treasury should be found inadequate." She may be most famous for funding Christopher Columbus on his expedition to the New World, but she was so much more than the provider of that trip. She had a complicated childhood and became a great ruler. Isabella I of Castile, was born April 22, 1451, she was half Spanish and half Portuguese

Christopher Columbus was sponsored by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel of Spain in 1492 to find an alternate trade route to Asia. The Reconquista was just wrapping up in Spain, and in hopes to continue the movement, the King and Queen encouraged Columbus to spread Christianity once he made landfall. Their goals for his voyage were similar to many at the time: find riches, spread faith, and claim any unconquered lands. Columbus was successful in all three, however, there is much controversy in the

The tremendous idea proposed by Christopher Columbus found unlikely supporters in Spain’s King Ferdinand V and Queen Isabella I, despite not being from Spain. The trade between Portugal and Africa peaked Columbus’s interest. Portugal was taking trips around Africa, to get to what is now current day Ghana, for gold to take back to Europe. While thinking

The Genoese explorer at last persuaded rulers of Spain Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon to finance his trip due to a combination of characteristics taking place during his final request of them, specifically the unification of religion during this time, the economic advantages the quest would bring, and the impeccable timing

explore and see if this new route would actually work. Columbus went to several monarchs in search of someone who would be willing to finance this voyage, but since his claims were so great, he was rejected many times. Finally, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain signed the Capitulations, a contract between them and Columbus to sponsor his voyage in April of 1492. In this agreement, it states that if Columbus discovers any new land, he would get the title of Admiral and he could become the governor
