Columbus, in poor health, had returned to Hispaniola on August 19, only to find that many of the Spanish settlers of the new colony are in rebellion against his and Bartholomew’s rule, claiming that Columbus had misled them about the supposedly bountiful riches of the New World.
A number of returning settlers and sailors have lobbied against Columbus at the Spanish court, accusing him and his brothers of gross mismanagement.
Columbus has some of his crew hanged for disobedience.
He has an economic interest in the enslavement of the Hispaniola natives and for this reason is not eager to baptize them, which attracts criticism from some churchmen.
