Segovia columbus

In his thirties, when his ship was wrecked and he managed to grab a wooden oar and reach the shore in Portugal, Cristoforo Colombo believed that he had been personally saved by God, and there would be other occasions later when he saw the hand of God in his affairs. He had also long dedicated himself to the recapture of Jerusalem and believed that Jerusalem and Mount Sion would be rebuilt by a Christian from Spain, which he hoped would be him.

When he returned to Spain in after his last voyage, Columbus was fifty-three and in poor health. He went to Seville and waited in vain for a summons to court. His patrons King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella had doubts about his mental condition and had no intention of giving him any official position, and Isabella was in any case only three weeks away from her death. Columbus lived most of his last eighteen months unhappily in Valladolid, comfortably off and cared for by his family, but in an increasingly disturbed state of mind and ceaselessly agitating for the official recognition, money and prerogatives that had been promised him.

He managed a brief word with the king at Segovia in , struggling there on mule-back, but Ferdinand was noncommittal and Columbus was mainly represented at court by his elder son Diego, a member of the royal guard. On 20 May Columbus took a sudden turn for the worse. His sons Diego and Ferdinand, his brother Diego and a few old shipmates were at the bedside when a priest said Mass and the great explorer was heard to say that into God's hands he commended his spirit.

The body was exhumed in and taken to Santo Domingo in the Caribbean, where it remained until the island was ceded to the French in the s, when it was moved again, to Havana.

Last Saturday, I participated in our Spanish Language Camp excursion to the majestic city of Segovia, about a two-hour bus ride from Salamanca.

It is also one of the inspirations for the Cinderella Castle in Disney World! The following day, Isabella held a processional to the main square of Segovia to be crowned as the Queen of Castile. With her marriage to King Ferdinand of Aragon, Isabella and Ferdinand had equal authority in both dominions, which unified Spain. It totals arches. Directly in the town square, throngs of people were lining the streets to watch a parade. As I have learned throughout my travels, you must be prepared to expect the unexpected, and always be sure to carry extra batteries for my camera at all times.

Men in both traditional and modern military uniforms marched the parade route, escorted by horses and the music of drummers, flutes and other instruments.
