Juan Ponce's royal charter, granted in 1512, provided for the "allotment" of the Indians, essentially making them slaves. By the time of Pánfilo de Narváez (1528) and Hernando de Soto (1539) Indians were declared to be a free people, subjects of the Spanish crown who should be schooled in Catholicism. Those who resisted could be punished by death. In reality such legal admonitions were ignored by conquistadors facing the hardships of Florida. Neither Narváez or de Soto converted a single Indian.
