Royalties are an agreed upon amount that is paid to the author, composer, performer, actor, group, playwright, creator (except God who is on a higher plane than royalty) for the use of their patented or copyrighted work. It is often an amount per or percentage of books sold, times played on air, box office sales, performances, etc. Thus, if King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella had had an an arrangement with Christopher Columbus for royalties due from his "discovery" ruination) of the "new world", that would have been royal royalties. That, in turn, would have resulted in furious legal activity over the profits between the royals of Spain and the royals of England, France and Portugal. There is no dispute over who truly is due the royalties, but they are all living on reservations which are very hard to get because the place is so crowded now.
