As the historian and descendant of the explorer Anunciada Colón de Carvajal Gorosábel explains, this paper is part of the mystery of Christopher Columbus's biography. The secret about his household is now kept alive: what was his origin? Where did the household crest that the Catholic Kings mention in this privilege come from? Can you give any guidance on his actual origin?
The discussion on this subject is inactive open. There is so no agreement on his nationality or the social environment of his family. Was he the boy of a wool scraper? Did he come from a household of navigators, and even had ancestral admirals? This last information came from Columbus himself, which was repeated by his second son, Hernando Colón, in a biography he wrote about his father. Nevertheless, the bibliography on this subject continues to grow and the criteria do not appear to be unanimous: the nationalities attributed to Columbus are multiracial, from various cities presently Italian (Genua, Cucaro, Saona, ...), Spanish (from Ibiza, Majorca, Barcelona, Pontevedry, Guadalajary, ...), Portuguese, Greek, Corsican and even American.
We can assure you that we are dealing with a very valuable acquisition for Christopher Columbus himself. Between 1492 and 1506, in which he died, 14 years passed during which he devoted as much as possible to the exploration of fresh lands (to ignore periods of illness which full to respective years); He did not get the estate, he only did maintenance of his papers and books, the chief legacy he wanted to pass on to his sons Diego and Hernando.
For this reason, and besides due to the uncertainty associated with taking them with him, he decided to entrust their care to a large friend, Brother Gaspar Gorricio, a monk from the cave monastery in Seville who had kept them in his own cell since 1500. It was undoubtedly a wise decision, due to the fact that in those years there was no safer place, as present would be a bank safe. This. love of paper and sciencefavored by books had a large influence on his boy Hernando Colón, who devoted most of his life to collecting the most crucial private library in Europe, any of which is preserved, creating the Colombomina Library in Seville.
Recent controversy: Columbus' accusations of genocide
In the 21st century, theories appeared on the various latitudes of America, in which Christopher Columbus is liable for the decline of the indigenous population, which occurred decades and even centuries after his death. The memorable date was October 12, 1492, erstwhile 90 people aboard 3 ships reached the fresh Continent after 3 months of shipping.
Reading stories and chronicles from those years, it is easy to announcement that mentality and customs were very different. In more than 500 years that divide us, the planet has evolved socially and politically, so that we cannot justice humanity in these 2 moments according to the same criteria. Despite all this, the political reflection that took place at the Catholic Kings Court with respect to the legal personality and treatment that American settlers deserved was, for those times, very advanced, to the point that any of its demands were taken into account erstwhile drafting the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Christopher Columbus was a conqueror who, as an ultrareligious, applied for Castile rights instilled by Queen Isabella Catholica to all her faithful, under whom the natives were not slaves but subjects of the Crown, and were treated so. In addition, Spanish colonization brought America the first university, located in Santo Domingo in 1551. Thus bringing culture to the improvement of indigenous peoples and fresh Crown peoples.

About the unreleased tea of Christopher Columb.
In an unpublished manuscript, found in the Madrid Library in 1950, owned by, the Herbs and Herbs Collection of India and authored by, Fernando Martínez de Huete (an authoritative of the Council of India in the mid and late 18th century, an author of valued historical and geographical works.), an unpublished fragment of the coat of arms of Christopher Columbus appears to us, different from what we knew today. But first let's do a small introduction on Christopher Columbus' coat of arms.

Document in which Catholic Kings hand over their coat of arms to Christopher Columbus | Carlota Colón de Carvajal
A 525-year-old paper went to private sales with an estimated price of 1 250 000 and 1 550 000 euros. He portrayed the castle, lion, respective islands, respective anchors, as well as the old coat of arms of his family, a shield that respective decades later was decorated with a motto or legend: "A Castilla y a León Nuevo Mundo di Colón" or "Por Castilla y por León Nuevo Mundo encontró Colón".
This privilege was granted after the explorer returned from his first journey to America, in Barcelona at the end of the spring of 1493. The paper was written on parchment measuring 275 x 435 mm and depicts a polychrome shield in its central part, which was very different at the time. So far, the manuscript has been kept by the family, as Columbus wrote in his 1497 will, and so was part of the archives of the princes of Veragua, a title given by Charles I Spanish and V German Luis Colón de Toledo, to the grandson of the admiral, in 1537

Modern version of Columbus' coat of arms.
Description of the first version of the coat of arms from: canalpatrimonio.com
It is the first document, the only representation of Christopher Columbus's first coat of arms, a paper of large historical value which was guarded by the Admiral's family, as the explorer wrote in his 1497 will.
The paper is the first manuscript, which was released on a parchment of sheep measuring 275 x 435 millimetres with a stem with a width of 43 millimetres, from which the mediate part hangs brown-green ribbons on which the missing leaded validation stamp was placed.
In the central part of the text is reserved the main space where the coat of arms is made in polychrome technology, divided into 5 parts.
In the right advanced part is simply a gold-colored castle (for the kingdom of Castile), on the white shore, and in the left advanced part a white raging lion (for the kingdom of León).
At the bottom on the right there is an iconography of islands and land mass representing the islands and the continent of the fresh World, in gold on sea waves.
And the lower left part is divided into 2 parts, in 1 advanced part there are 5 anchors in gold colour by the Admiralty, and below the arms presented in red on a golden background with a blue band.
The paper shows ancient folds that correspond to the wooden box in which it was originally stored. The text surrounding the coat of arms can be considered unpublished, according to López Serrano, as historians had no access to this paper which remained with the heirs for 500 years.
"The Royal first Supply twice left Spain for exhibitions; 1 in 1893 in Chicago, and the another in 1976 in Washington. But historians and researchers did not have direct access to the first document, but only to the text, referred to in the registry of Privileges in the Book of Cédulas, by Fernández Álvarez de Toledo", the specialist convinces. The kind of evidence that was stored on the rights and privileges granted by the Catholic Kings, which is in the Archives of India.
The manuscript is simply a 15th-century letter of privileges, of large perfection and regularity, of tiny letters, of correct usage of capital letters, of respective links and abbreviations. The paper giving the coat of arms to Christopher Columbus was included in the Veragua Princes Archives, and now belongs to their descendants. Currently, until the auction, it is stored in a safe in the Auction House.
PHOTOS: The only representation of Christopher Columbus's first coat of arms, document not yet published on a veiled parchment, will be auctioned on December 17, with values ranging from 1.25 million to 1.5 million.

About the unreleased tea of Christopher Columb.
In an unpublished manuscript, found in the Madrid Library in 1950, owned by, the Herbs and Herbs Collection of India and authored by, Fernando Martínez de Huete (an authoritative of the Council of India in the mid and late 18th century, an author of valued historical and geographical works.), an unpublished fragment of the coat of arms of Christopher Columbus appears to us, different from what we knew today. But first let's do a small introduction on Christopher Columbus' coat of arms.
As for the part relating to Columbus' coat of arms,
We have 1 of the thesis researchers on Galician colonialism, Manuel Doval, in 1 of his articles, in which he states that Christopher Columbus and Pedro Álvarez de Sotomayor utilized the same coat of arms.
MODIFICATION OF CROSSTOPH COLUMB TEA
Earlier than expected, the coat of arms given by the kings was modified by their descendants, Diego and Hernando Colón.
Although these modifications were made "mot proprio", in 1502, a fresh coat of arms was printed on the cover in the publication "Book of Privileges" (the book that was issued to defend Admiral's rights as explorers of fresh lands).
This presents the following differences to the authoritative coat of arms:
- the coat of arms of the first and second quarters was modified to represent the coat of arms of Castile and León, - the island of the 3rd quarters were modified by accompanying them with a pointed "solid land", to add fresh continental lands already discovered, and
- 5 anchors were placed in the 4th fourth to emphasize his dignity as an admiral. but not to the right, but to the right;
Primitive armaments, those that "ordinary had" according to the royal decree, were moved to a lower "entry". [It is the first coat of arms - it was pressed on the bottom itself, with time removed from the coat of arms - MS]
As for 5 anchors,
we can interpret erstwhile Krzysztof Columbus reports:
«... I'm not the first admiral,"
which reflects the fact that his ancestors were admirals, and Columbus himself was the 5th admiral. [this is the incorrect explanation - MS]
Similarly, we have an explanation of another Galician colonial thesis researcher, Alfons Philippot, where he exposes the ancestral household Pedro Álvarez de Sotomayora (counting Pedro himself), besides identifying 5 admirals.
Another investigator of the same thesis, Antonio Pedro de Sottomayor, besides presents arguments about Admiral Pedro Álvarez de Sotomayora's ancestry, in articles: I'm not first Admiral 1-4.
Sotomayor Town Tea
Cristóbal de Sotomayor, 1 of the sons of Pedro Álvarez de Sotomayor, who we know served the Catholic Monarchs (some of his brothers besides served outside), he was 1 of those who came to India with Diego Columbus and who, many believe, was the 1 who had the most "privileged" and "powers" in India. together with Viceroy Diego Colón, where he founded the first town in Sitio de la Aguada, called Villa de Sotomayor. It is believed that somewhere in this area Columbus landed in 1493 on his second journey to the fresh World.
Willa de Sotomayor existed for only 1 year, as in 1511 she was attacked and burned, and all its inhabitants were killed by Indians from this region, but for the badly injured translator Juan Gonzáles. Nevertheless, the town of Sotomayor arose from ashes, in the same place, not once, but many times.
In the same year 1511, King Ferdinand ordered the construction of a monastery on the island of San Juan Bautista, which gave birth to Ermitaz Espinar. The name Villa de Sotomayor was subsequently changed to San Francisco de Asís de la Aguada, as the nuns who came to fund the monastery were Franciscans. The work was completed in 1516. Thirteen years later, in 1529, the Indians killed the monks and burned the hermitage, and their blood was Puerto Rico's first martyr blood, and possibly the full fresh World. 3 years before the event referred to in the erstwhile paragraph, in 1526 King Charles I established the permanent city of Aguada by royal decree.
In the coat of arms of the town of Sotomayor we observe, besides with respect to the sea, ships and/or caravans, the number of which is the same as for the 5 anchors of the coat of arms of Christopher Columbus:
The first 4th shows us a yellow bohío or caney with a gold crown on a blue background. These symbols represent the indigenous power of Puerto Rico Island. Borinquén's main duck, Agueybaná, had its own Yucayeke, or town in the Guánica region. This condition made this region the indigenous capital of the island.
In the second 4th appears the coat of arms of the branch of Ponce de León in Puerto Rico, a purple raging lion on a silver background to capture the memory of Don Juan Ponce de León, the first colonizer and governor. In August 1508, he came to land in Guánica Bay, where the indigenous village of Agueybaná was located.
The 3rd 4th shows us the crest of the noble and very old Sotomayor family. Silver field with 3 bars in a gules box and gold (red and yellow), each of which was loaded with a sobol belt. Don Cristóbal de Sotomayor lived in the Guánica region and founded the primitive city of Guánica in 1510, which he named Villa Tavera or Tábora in honor of his mother, Countess of Camiña. This act was the first tribute to his parent in Puerto Rico. Here he had a disastrous effect, which cost him his life, the Indian Guanin and her companions at the hands of the Indians.
The 4th fourth shows us the large bay of Guánica, blue and golden waves representing the sea waves and sand beaches.
At the bottom are 2 green cane breeds, a symbol of the sugar industry.
The crowning coat of arms we have a wall crown of 3 towers, which are the city's insignia. It is golden, shows us 7 windows painted blue, representing districts at the time of its formation. In the past, major cities were protected by walls that represented a union between their residents and their common defence.
The Secret ARCHIWUM
As far as the subject that concerns us is concerned, on an unpublished part of Christopher Columbus' coat of arms, another than the 1 that has been officially shown to us today, we have, as we said earlier, what Fernando Martinez de Huete (XVIII century) did, for the creation of the Archives of India;Ferdinand collects archives, manuscripts, etc. from erstwhile centuries, which were part of, among others, the secret archive.
An institution as crucial as the Council of India, where a secret archive was created under the Royal Regulations from 1636, containing not only papers issued and received for government and administration abroad, but besides all the manuscripts and prints that have been written down or written down in the future on India's affairs, in order to find out as rapidly as possible any information requested about specified crucial territories.
But what was the actual origin of this archive, how it came to get specified a peculiar physionomy as the value given to it today, what was its effective usage and expansion of its collections.
The first news of the existence of a secret archive in which papers drawn up and received by the Council of India in the course of the exercise of its functions were kept comes from 1571 and from regulations issued on that day concerning the government and the functioning of specified an crucial institution.
We must wait for the fresh regulations until 1636, which extended the standardisation of the operation and intent of the secret archive.
The main evidence we have in this respect comes from Baltasar de Tobar, a fiscal agent of the Council in 1683, liable for the location and systematisation in the list of bulls issued for India preserved in that institution. The consequence of his work was the celebrated Compendium Bulario Indico, completed in 1694, and now edited by M. Gutierres de Arce, along with another papers concerning his person. Thanks to them, we know that Baltasar de Tobar organized and consulted in order to make his committee not only the secret archives of the Council of India, but besides another collections of papers preserved there, which undoubtedly arose in the Secretariats of Peru and fresh Spain along with the papers processed by them.
As far as the secret archive is concerned, various persons have been proposed on respective occasions to take up the position of archivist-biblioteur, as referred to in the 1636 regulations, but the resolution was at no time favourable. The existence of archives in Secretariats and the shortage of documentary collections of importance in secret prevented the regulation of the archive, which in the mediate of the century, as evidenced by the inventory of its collections made in 1766, became an crucial American library, consisting of more than 300 printed and handicraft works.
The tiny value that they have present attached to specified valuable collections is clearly seen in the repeated reports that the secretaries, prosecutors and even the archives of the Council issued each time they were proposed to organise and finalise them.
For example, in 1785 Fernando Martínez de Huete, a then authoritative of the Secretariat of Peru, offered him the position of archivist-library of secrecy due to his merit.
Five years later, in 1789, various reports rejected his proposal. His position, already at the time as archivist of the Secretariat, prevented him from doing another work in the administration, in addition to fundamentally bibliographic content of the secret archive, reduced, according to the study of the Minister-archiver Juan Antonio de la Cerda, to a large wardrobe in which many printed books, medals, prints, coins are preserved without utilizing methods. Without an index or a guide to its management, he felt it was unnecessary to appoint a individual associated with this centre.
FERNANDO MARTÍNEZ DE HUETE
Fernando Martínez de Huete, joined as the twelfth authoritative of the Secretariat of Peru in 1778, after being appointed by the Council to various committees, specified as paper laying and the creation of an inventory of the notary of the House, which he drafted around 1770.
He was a man closely associated with Indian archives and documentation.
We know that in 1761 he arranged the archive of the monastery of San Ildefonso de las Trinitarias Descalzas del Rincón de Soto, due to the fact that in 1778, as an authoritative of the Central Accounting Office of General Kingdom Income, he received an order to go to Seville to identify India's papers preserved in that city. Later, in 1781, without abandoning his bureaucratic career, Prince Villahermosa appointed him to be the archivist of his home and states, and in 1786, he reached the position of archivist in the Secretariat of Peru.
UNPUBLISHED TEA KRZYSHTOFA COLUMBA
In 1 of the manuscripts obtained by Fernando Martínez de Huete, the Herbs and Herbs Collection, interestingly enough, with respect to the coat of arms of Christopher Columbus, we find the following:
If we focus on the coat of arms of Christopher Columbus,
CONCLUSION
If Christopher Columbus were truly Pedro Álvarez de Sotomayor, could this coat of arms be 1 of those proposed by Christopher Columbus himself, or descendants who would retreat from the fact that, in the words of his boy Ferdinand Columbus, from:
"... THE MORE HE WANTED HIS FATHER AND HIS ORIGIN TO BE CERTAIN AND KNOWN"?

Columbus-Madruga Theory
In the late 19th century, Spanish author García de la Riega suggested that Christopher Columbus was of Galician descent. Although this explanation was popular for a short time, it fell into disfavor in the late 20th century. However, in fresh years it has been proposed that Pedro Madruga and Christopher Columbus are the same person.
According to this theory, Madruga did not die in 1486, but changed his identity to hide a pact between his erstwhile enemies, Catholic monarchs and himself.
This thesis is based on respective evidence lines: specified as
Columbus calling the characteristics of the West Indies coast names more than 100 towns of the mouth of the Pontevedra River (near Soutomaior in Galicia); and
The similarity of Columbus and Pedro Madrug.
One of the arguments against is the will made in 1491 by Alvaro de Sotomayor, the eldest boy of Pedro Mawne.
In this paper Álvaro states that "the bones of my parents [...] He was buried in the Chapel of S. Obispo D. Juan in Tuy Cathedral Church", although this paper suggests that Pedro Madruga died in 1491 alternatively than in 1486.
