In 1496, Nicolás de Ovando was appointed as the governor of Hispaniola by King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. He replaced Christopher Columbus's brother, Bartolomé Columbus, and was tasked with establishing a more effective colonial administration and dealing with the challenges faced by the Spanish settlers and the indigenous population. Ovando's tenure is noted for both the expansion of Spanish settlements and increased exploitation of the native Taíno people.
