Christopher Columbus

The First Setback

After Columbus and Felipa are happily wed, they move to the isle of Porto Santo. Here, Columbus is able to gather useful information for his western voyage. He then partakes in an expedition to Guinea, while Felipa, in the meantime, gives birth to a son they decide to name Diego. In 1484 Columbus then decides to travel to Lisbon with the purpose of convincing the King of his project's merit.
