Whether Columbus committed treason against Queen Isabella of Spain is a matter of interpretation. While he did act independently by making decisions during his voyages that sometimes went against the crown's wishes, he was ultimately seeking to expand Spanish territories and wealth. His actions were often viewed as ambitious rather than treasonous, and he had the support of the monarchy, which benefited from his discoveries. Thus, while some of his actions may have been controversial, they do not clearly constitute treason.
