No, actually it was quite the opposite situation. The available evidence indicates that Columbus had very high regard for Ferdinand and Isabella, but unfortunately the feeling was not mutual.

In fact it seems that apart from the very brief period just after Columbus was successful on the first voyage the King at best only tolerated Columbus and it could even be true that at times he hated Columbus!

Before the success of the first voyage, Ferdinand was not entirely convinced in the sanity of the claims made by Columbus with regard to himself. Then there was a quite happy few months when Columbus was in favor with the royals until he set out on the second voyage.

Then the lengthy delays during which Columbus failed to ship the promised gold to Spain led the royals to lose faith in him, at least partially, and eventually so many people were speaking against Columbus and complaining about his governance of Hispaniola that Ferdinand and Isabella ordered that he be arrested and brought back to Spain.

Columbus arrived in chains and was thrown into prison. Though he was soon released, the grief and stress over his treatment had taken their toll on his physical and mental health and he rapidly deteriorated during the next few years, as did his regard for the Spanish crown.

Who gave Columbus the money to explore?

Columbus asked King Henry of Portugal for ships and sailors to discover the way to China and Japan. King Henry said no. Then Columbus went to Spain and asked Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. There was a war in Spain. "Wait until the war is over," Queen Isabella said. Columbus had to wait many years. The war was over, at last, in 1492. Then Queen Isabella said yes. The city of Palos gave Columbus three ships: the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. Queen Isabella gave Columbus money and ninety sailors. The three little ships sailed from Palos on August 3. First they stopped at the Canary Islands for more food and water. They left the Canaries on September 6.

Christopher Columbus was not punished by Queen Elizabeth I for his treatment of Indigenous peoples; in fact, he was an Italian explorer sailing under the Spanish flag, primarily associated with King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. Although Columbus faced criticism and was eventually removed from his governorship due to complaints about his administration and treatment of natives, this was not directly related to Queen Elizabeth. The English monarchy, including Queen Elizabeth, had little direct involvement in Columbus's fate or actions.

Who did Francisco Vásquez de Coronado explore for?

King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. That would be a little difficult, as Isabella died six years before he was born, and Ferdinand died when de Coronado was six years old. It would have been under the reign of Charles V.

His real full name is Cristoforo Colombo. His parents were Susanna Fontanarossa and Domenico Colombo. He had three children; Diego Columbus and Ferdinand Columbus.Columbus's DiscoveryIn 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue! His first voyage ended with no discoveries in 1493. In 1493, Columbus sailed on his second voyage, yet nor not one discovery was made. That voyage concluded in 1496. Then Columbus started his third voyage in 1498, but did not succeed anything, so it ended tragically in 1500. But then, in 1502, Columbus made his fourth voyage and that's when he discovered America! At first, Columbus thought he discovered Asia, but Ferdinand Magellan was knowledgeable enough to prove, "Columbus! You got it all wrong! This is America you discovered, not Asia!" Columbus also was told by Magellan that the Earth was round, so that was incorrect as well. That great voyage ended in 1504, and that's when Columbus died two years later.Columbus was a great man!
