According to the contract that Columbus made with King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, if Columbus discovered any new islands or mainland, he would receive many high rewards. In terms of power, he would be given the rank of Admiral of the Ocean Sea and appointed Viceroy and Governor of all the new lands. He had the right to nominate three persons, from whom the sovereigns would choose one, for any office in the new lands. He would be entitled to 10% of all the revenues from the new lands in perpetuity; this part was denied to him in the contract, although it was one of his demands. Additionally, he would also have the option of buying one-eighth interest in any commercial venture with the new lands and receive one-eighth of the profits.

What did Christopher Columbus do that showed he was friendly to the islanders?
Not well. He was a greedy man and promised his crew the first man to see land would get a reward. When this happened he kept to money he promised and when a Native American didn't bring him enough gold he cut off his hand. Lastly, when Columbus was shipwrecked for 2 years the governor of Porto Rico knew he was there and left him there. By the time he was rescued he was sick.
Why do you think the spnish monarchs lost patience with Columbus?
You don't say on what occasion. There were two: the first when he had been installed as Govenor of the West Indies. He was accused - together with his brothers - of gross mismanagement and tyranny in that capacity. The accusations were shown to be true and Columbus was shipped back to Spain in chains.The second was when Columbus kept demanding huge amounts of money from the Spanish monarchs as a reward for his discoveries. As a matter of fact a lot of promises had been made by the king and queen - at least, encouraging nods and grunts had been made when Columbus presented his demands - but Columbus' demands were considered so extravagant that the monarchs refused to pay in the end. Columbus spent the rest of his life in fruitless ligitation.
When did Christopher Columbus find land?
On October 11, 1492, Columbus claimed in his dairy that he saw a light that looked like it was from a candle. The next day, October 12, one of his crew members, Rodrigo de Triana, actually saw land. Nevertheless, Columbus stated his sighting was the first sighting of land, which allowed him to keep the reward money promised to the first person to see land.
