Columbus had eventually been forced to make peace with the rebellious colonists on humiliating terms.
By this time, accusations of tyranny and incompetence on the part of Columbus had also reached the Court.
Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand responded by removing Columbus from power and replacing him with Francisco de Bobadilla, a member of the Order of Calatrava.
Bobadilla, dispatched by the Spanish authorities to Santo Domingo to investigate the rebellious colonist’s complaints against the Columbus brothers, including the accusations of brutality made against Columbus himself, arrives in 1500 with full powers.
Landing in Santo Domingo while Columbus was away in the explorations of his Third voyage, Bobadilla is immediately met with complaints about both Christopher and Bartolomé, as well as Christopher’s son Diego.
