Christopher Columbus The Hero.2.: Debunking The Accusations That Led To His Arrest

Christopher Columbus was arrested in 1500 by a political enemy based on false charges made by a group of insurrectionists. He was immediately released by the King and Queen of Spain who did not believe the charges, and those who conspired against him were charged with mutiny instead. Yet the false accusations made by his enemies are now being used once again after a dossier was found by historians in the 2000s. Among the accusations was that he was a "cruel" governor toward the Spanish colonists and that he flogged and cut off the tongue of a woman, who was later paraded naked. Whereas Christopher Columbus The Hero debunked the modern-day revisions against Columbus, this second part debunks the false accusations that caused his arrest.

For the first time, English-speaking readers will have the opportunity to see all the details of the dossier, including who the author was, who the accusers were, what they alleged, and what the charges were. All followed by rebuttals based on the self-incriminating testimonies of the "witnesses" of the dossier, and the primary sources accounts and documents that will prove the innocence of a man who never was tried in court.
