Product description : Columbus

He goes to Lisbon where his bosses have an important counter, then with two Genoese boats, Ireland and perhaps even in Iceland. He was therefore able to reach the limits of the known world. Upon returning from this trip, he envisaged his great design and married in 1479. In Porto Santo, island near Madeira, he discovered clues proving the existence of land to the west, such as trunks of trees of unknown species, brought by currents. His efforts to convince John II, the Portuguese sovereign fail. In 1486, he turned his efforts to Isabelle the Catholic, but it was the end of the Reconquista and the resources of the Castile were exhausted. In 1488, Columbus again asked the king of Portugal, then Charles VIII, king of France and Henri VII, king of England. After the fall of Granada, he was named "Admiral of the Océane Sea", and viceroy of all the lands he will discover on behalf of the kings. The tenth of gold, precious stones and discovered spices are promised to him. The expedition is prepared with the Santa Clara which will become the Niña, the Pinta and a third boat, larger, chartered by Columbus himself, the Santa Maria, a "nao", heavy and slow, the crews being formed of sailors Andalusian. The big departure takes place before dawn of August 3, 1492, after a general confession. To be worn by the trade winds, he sails towards the equator and releases to the Canaries, then the trip takes place calmly. At the beginning of October, to reassure the crew that loses patience, it reduces the distances estimates actually traveled every day. The historic arrival took place on October 12, 1492 in the Lucaye Islands, the Bahamas, which Columbus baptizes San Salvador. The natives who welcome him are naked and unarmed. He will form for them conversion projects, but also of slavery. He puts the course back on Europe on January 16, with the Niña and the Pinta, the Santa Maria having failed and dislocated off Haiti. It goes back to the north east to be worn by the big western winds, but also has to face storms. After various adventures, he reached the Tage estuary and John II welcomes it. The glory of Columbus begins in Seville where it arrives during holy week. Received with great fanfare by Spanish sovereigns, he is ennobled. A second then a third and a fourth trip will take place. Lamartine thus described the end of Columbus: “Old man, abandoned from the universe and lying on a cot of needy in a loan house in Seville. ». In fact, he will end up in a noble house, surrounded by servants. His son Diego will be governor of Haiti. He will never be convinced that he has opened the way to a new continent, the "new world" being according to him only an annex to Asia and he will lament what he considers a failure: he n 'will not have found the road to India, and he who had been constantly guided by the will to enlarge the kingdom of God, the highlight being the liberation of Jerusalem, will not have been more successful with his Quest for gold that would have given Christian sovereigns the wealth allowing to win back the holy places.
