Read “Columbus” – Svet Yakov Mikhailovich – Page 58

The second voyage of Columbus. Discoveries made in the Lesser Antilles at the final stage of the transition from Castile to the island of Hispaniola (1493).

The land seen at dawn on November 3rd was a mountainous island and it was named Dominica. The day was Sunday, and Sunday in church Latin is called dominica – the Lord’s day.

S. E. Morison notes that Columbus went to the Lesser Antilles, and Dominica belongs to them, “at a point that turned out to be the best direction for ships for the next four centuries! It is in this place that there is a passage between the islands, free from dangerous reefs, and through this passage lies the path to Venezuela, Vera Cruz, to the Western Caribbean or to the Leeward Islands, to Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo or Cuba.

Undoubtedly, it was a pure accident, but the Admiral did not forget where he landed, and in the future his route was often used by ships going from Seville and Cadiz to the shores of the New World.

The garlands of the Lesser Antilles, forming a not very steep arc, stretch for more than five hundred miles, separating the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. These high islands, surrounded by lush tropical greenery, are small, all of them, taken together, can be located within Puerto Rico, by no means the largest island of the Great Antilles group, but their lands are fabulously fertile, the coasts are indented with deep bays, the mountains are covered with dense forests, and not without reason Barbados, Guadeloupe, tiny patches of Lesser Antilles land, were known in the 17th and 18th centuries as the pearls of the West Indian possessions of England and France.

Columbus called the natives of these islands canibs, or cannibals, and he also denounced them to the whole world, declaring these Lesser Antilles Indians cannibals. And soon the very word “cannibal” became a symbol of the vilest human qualities. Meanwhile, even though the Caribs, like many other peoples with a primitive way of life, used ritual cannibalism, they did not eat human flesh and, unlike the Europeans, led a vegetarian lifestyle.

For the Spanish conquerors “cannibalism” served as a plausible pretext for cruel reprisals against “vile cannibals”. The Caribs were recognized as the offspring of Satan, hunting for them became a favorite trade of good Christians, and for some thirty years they were exterminated without exception.

From 4 to 13 November, the ships of the flotilla passed by the islands, which were named Montserrat, Antigua, Nevis, San Cristobal, San Eustasio, and on November 14, the flotilla dropped anchor off Santa Cruz Island and entered the water of a small archipelago, in which there were a great many small and tiny islands. The Admiral gave this group of islands the name of the Islands of the Eleven Thousand Virgins (Once mil virgines). Subsequently, this name was truncated, and the islands became Maiden, or Virgin.

On the island of Santa Cruz, a small group of Caribs started a fight with aliens, and the Caribs fought with unusual tenacity. The only living trophy of the sailors was a young Indian woman, which the Admiral presented to his countryman Michele Cuneo.

November 19, a large island was opened, which the locals called Boriken. The admiral renamed it San Juan Batista, and thirteen years later Juan Ponce de Leon founded the village of San Juan de Puerto Rico, the noble harbor of St. John, on its shore. Therefore, the village and the entire island eventually became known as Puerto Rico.

The admiral proceeded along the mountainous northern coast of Puerto Rico and did not linger here, he hurried to Hispaniola, to his companions on the first voyage.

Having reached the east coast of Hispaniola, the Admiral headed west, and on November 27 the flotilla approached Navidad Bay.

The passage to the shores of the New World is over. This time the head of the expedition led not three, but seventeen ships across the ocean, and he carried out this operation in a brilliant manner.

Autumn 149For 3 years he proved himself to be an outstanding naval commander.

For the first time in the history of navigation, a huge flotilla crossed over three thousand nautical miles of water. Not a single ship suffered damage, their condition was excellent, and yet the Admiral sailed the ocean waters for twenty-two days and led the flotilla through the Mala Antilles labyrinth for seventeen days, where even now, in the era of the most accurate maps and the most advanced instruments, ship piloting is an extremely delicate matter.

DAMNED ISABELLA

On Wednesday, November 27, the flotilla pulled into Navidad Bay. Around midnight, a canoe filled with Indians approached the Maria Galante. Two of them boarded and handed over to the Admiral, on behalf of the Guacanagari, several golden masks. But these ambassadors of the great cacique behaved strangely… They looked around with apprehension and very reluctantly answered the questions of the Admiral. They spoke vaguely about the fate of 39 Christians. The admiral only realized that some kind of misfortune had befallen his former companions.

On the morning of November 28, the Admiral went ashore. No one met him, an ominous, dead silence reigned in the bay of Navidad. The Indian village has disappeared. The scorched earth was sprinkled with ashes and ashes.

On November 29, the Admiral landed near the burned village with a group of soldiers and sailors armed with arquebuses. It soon became clear that only firebrands remained from the fortress of Navidad. It was possible to find fragments of broken chests, scraps of cloth and coarse tablecloths “arambels”, burnt chips and rags were trampled into the mud.

Alonso de Ojeda, not far from the ruined fortress, found corpses covered with earth. By the remnants of clothing, he immediately identified his compatriots in the dead.

The Indians have arrived. It was noticeable that meeting with Christians was not very encouraging for them, but still the Admiral got the impression that neither these people nor the cacique were responsible for the death of the colonists. The Guacanagaris are innocent.

Guacanagari obviously avoided the Admiral, but nevertheless accepted him. Through the interpreter, Diego soon managed to find out how all 39 inhabitants of the Navidad fortress died.

“Good Christians” began to settle accounts with each other almost on the very first day of their stay in Navidad. The royal bedkeeper Pero Gutierez and the notary Rodrigo de Escoveda killed one sailor, and then went with a group of the greatest troublemakers to the lands of the neighboring Kaonobó cacique in search of gold.

They invaded Kaonobo’s domain and indulged in robbery and robbery. Kaonobo, unlike Guakanagari, was the leader of a non-peaceful disposition. He gave battle to the invaders and killed them, and then moved on the fortress of Navidad and burned it to the ground. But by the time the Kaonobo army ravaged the fortress, only a small number of Christians remained in it. Almost all the colonists dispersed wherever they look, and they burned and plundered Indian villages, took young Indian women to their shelters and fought among themselves because of the booty.

Perhaps some of them died in these strife, perhaps some of the settlers were sent to the other world by the warriors of the cacique of Guacanagari, but one way or another, not one of the 39 Christians survived. The commandant of Navidad Diego de Arana also died, he failed to curb his subordinates, and it is by no means excluded that it was not the Kaonobo Indians who killed him, but “good Christians”.

The fate of the first Castilian colonists was sad. Sad and uplifting. The Admiral’s vague fears came true. The irrepressible greed of his companions led to bitter consequences. Bitter not only for the settlers. The Indians have now learned about the cruelty and greed of the pale-faced newcomers, the golden days of the first joyful meetings have passed irrevocably.

The good shepherd Bernal Boyle suggested that in retaliation for the deaths of 39 Christians, the cacique of Guacanagari should be executed with an evil execution. “But the Admiral did not want to do this, considering that since the Christians left in the fortress were already dead, the capture of the king of Guacanagari would still not allow either the resurrection of the dead, or send them to paradise, unless they got there first” (24 , 313).

However, he made such a decision not only out of the goodness of his heart. The admiral reasoned that there was no point in putting Guacanagari to death. Kasik was connected by family ties with other Indian leaders who could be offended by such a massacre. And besides, the time has not yet come for executions. First, it was necessary to establish a settlement somewhere in Hispaniola, to establish itself more firmly on this land, and only then “punish the guilty, if the truth is revealed” (24, 313).

Isabella I of Castile – Queen of Castile (1474-1504)

Queen of Castile and León (1474-1504). Wife of Ferdinand II of Aragon,
whose dynastic marriage marked the beginning of the unification of Spain into a single state.

Isabella I of Castile was born on April 22, 1451 in the municipality of Madrigal de las Altas Torres, Spain. She was the daughter of King Juan II of Castile and Isabella of Portugal. The early childhood of the future queen was spent in Arevalo Castle, where she, along with her mother and brother Alfonso, after the death of her father, was imprisoned by Enrique IV, the son of Juan II from his first marriage. She received the upbringing and education due to all the girls of that era. The young lady was taught elementary literacy, needlework, and observance of religious rites. The girl, more than anything in the world, loved to hide in a dark corner of the library and read books about the biographies of great people.

At the age of ten, Isabella and her brother were torn from their depressed mother and brought to Enrique’s court. This decision is dictated by political background. King Enrique, despite his second marriage, still remained childless, for which he was popularly nicknamed the Powerless. His second wife, Juana of Portugal, gave birth to a daughter, Juana, but because of the queen’s relationship with the aristocrat Beltrán de la Cueva, the girl was considered illegitimate.

The absence of a direct heir, whose origin would not be in doubt, forced the king, not without the help of the nobility, to recognize his younger brother Alfonso as the heir. Enrique planned to marry him to his daughter Juana, but the sickly Alfonso dies at the age of fourteen. The only descendant of Juan II is Isabella’s daughter.

The girl grew up pious and withdrawn, read a lot, spent time in prayer and dreamed of a solitary personal life. The political intrigues of the nobility did not bother her, and Isabella refused to lay claim to the throne. In 1468, Enrique IV proclaimed her heir to the throne of Castile, elevating her to the title of Princess of Asturias. Guardianship of the older brother also meant that she had to coordinate her marriage with him. Isabella disobeyed and, rejecting the proposed candidates, secretly married Prince Ferdinand of Aragon.

The initiative for the wedding came from the Archbishop of Toledo, Alfonso Carrillo de Acuña. A secret marriage took place on October 19, 1469. Ferdinand’s retinue had to travel incognito, disguised as merchants, while Isabella left the palace on the pretext of visiting her sick mother. In addition, since the bride and groom were second cousins, permission from the pope was required. The necessary document was fabricated, and permission was received retroactively. By virtue of the marriage contract, the heir to the throne of Aragon was obliged to live in Castile, observe the laws of the country and do nothing without the consent of Isabella, thus becoming a prince consort to the future queen.

Upon learning of this, Enrique dethroned his sister, declaring Juana his heiress. The king later forgave his sister’s disobedience and recognized her marriage to Ferdinand. After his death, on December 11, 1474, Isabella ascended the throne and declared herself Queen of Castile and León.

However, at the time of the proclamation of Isabella as queen, Ferdinand was in Aragon and was proclaimed only as the lawful spouse of the queen, and not king. This greatly offended him and put their marriage in jeopardy. By signing the Agreement in Segovia between the spouses, the issue of power in the Kingdom of Castile was settled and Ferdinand became the co-king of his wife, having received wide powers of authority.

Supporters of Juana Beltraneja began to protest against the coronation of Isabella, bypassing the direct heiress. King Afonso V of Portugal took advantage of this situation, married Juan and invaded Castile to restore his wife’s rights to the throne. This struggle continued until 1479, as a result, both sides made peace.

Having secured the borders of the country, the queen took up the internal arrangement: she established order and discipline in the palace, which did not differ in the court of Enrique IV, introduced a number of financial and managerial reforms, and updated lawmaking. Under Isabella, Saint Ermandada appeared – armed detachments for the protection of order, this greatly limited the arbitrariness of the Spanish grandees and Cortes. Royal power rose more and more, gaining absolute authority.

During the almost thirty years of Queen Isabella’s reign, three major events occurred that influenced the course of world history. The first is the end of the Reconquista, the holy war declared by Christians against the Arab invasion and the planting of the Muslim religion throughout the occupied Iberian Peninsula. Until 1492, only Granada remained under Arab rule. The capture of this city by the royal troops meant the end of almost seven centuries of confrontation.

Isabella also ordered the expulsion of all Arabs and Jews from Spain in order to fight for the purity of the Catholic faith. Gentiles should either leave the country or accept Catholicism. Those who, having acquired a new faith, secretly observed the old rites, were burned at the stake by the Inquisition. Subsequently, the unfortunate began to settle in separate quarters, called ghettos.

The Catholic kings sent an expedition of Christopher Columbus, who opened the New World for Europeans. The first expedition was marked by a landing on the Bahamas on October 12, 1492. He landed on the island of Guanahani and named it San Salvador. Later he continued sailing to Cuba and discovered the island of Haiti, giving it the name of Hispaniola. The second journey began in 1493, this time discovering a number of islands in the Caribbean archipelago, including Puerto Rico. Now his main goal was the colonization of open lands, for which he took with him about 1,500 people. Columbus returned from his last expedition in 1498, having discovered Trinidad and the coast of modern Venezuela.

Over the years, the queen’s health has deteriorated: numerous births and prolonged religious fasts have taken their toll. By the age of fifty, Isabella of Castile had become a gloomy recluse who yearned for daughters married to other kingdoms. The last blow for her was the terrible truth: the woman found out that her beloved daughter Juana – the most beautiful and cheerful – suffers from a mental disorder, like her grandmother.

Nevertheless, the queen made her favorite the heir to the Spanish throne, but in her will indicated that in the event of her daughter’s insanity, her father Ferdinand was appointed regent.

Isabella I of Castile died on November 26, 1504 at the age of fifty-three due to a long illness. She was buried in the Royal Chapel in Granada.
