Synopsis
"Alhambra". The narrative surveys Columbus's late-15th and early-16th century sojourns on Hispaniola, detailing governance struggles in the absence of royal oversight, factionalism among Spaniards, and each side's treatment of native populations. It follows Columbus and his brothers as they contend with Margarite's harsh rule, Ojeda's bold campaigns, and the shifting allegiances of Guacanagari, Guarionex, Caonabo, Anacaona, and Behechio. The text traces fortifications, tributes, and mining efforts, the controversial slave trade, and debates over royal policy, humanitarian aims, and religious motives. It also recounts relief missions from Jamaica, mutinies aboard ship, Ovando's campaigns against Xaragua and Higuey, and the struggle to secure Crown favor for exploration and the Hayna mines. The narrative sets the stage for a third voyage toward Trinidad and the Gulf of Paria, highlighting a fragile imperial venture shaped by court politics, private expeditions, and the evolving Caribbean landscape.
