Historians now think he was Spanish. The theory is he took a different persona because his family were political rivals of the crown and the crown would never support his ideas. To back up this theory they point out he only spoke and wrote in Spanish and was married to a Spanish Nobel woman. A rough Italian sailor would never have been permitted to marry into a wealthy Spanish family in the 1400's. Who someone married was very important and political.
