Cabeza de Vaca, a Spanish explorer and one of the early European explorers of North America, had several patrons during his expeditions. His most notable patron was the Spanish crown, particularly King Charles V, who sponsored his journey to the New World in the early 16th century. Additionally, he was associated with the Spanish conquistadors, including Pánfilo de Narváez, under whose command he initially sailed to Florida in 1527. However, after being shipwrecked and enduring years of hardship, Cabeza de Vaca's journey eventually led him to advocate for the rights of Indigenous peoples, altering his relationship with his original patrons.
