He sent a king named King Ferdinand II of Aragon and a queen named Queen Isabella.
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella sponsored Columbus because Columbus told them that if they gave him the money to find another trade route to India he would spread Catholicism in India (king and queen of Spain were Catholic)
Actually, there was not much convincing to do. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were eager to send an explorer to the "New World," with the hope he would find riches that could be claimed by Spain; also, the Queen was a fervent Catholic and she hoped the native populations could be converted.
Christopher Columbus got arrested because his sailors said he treated the native Americans bad
Well, that's a tough subject, friend. Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand established the Spanish Inquisition to investigate and punish those who didn't practice Christianity. It's important to remember that we've come a long way since then, and it's all about spreading love and understanding now.

Send an Italian by the name of Christopher Columbus (Cristoforo Colombo) across the ocean to invade and conquer India.
King Ferdinand didn't really have many contributions. He is famously known for the contribution of society he made when he made a sacrifice to send Christopher Columbus to investigate the new world. Ferdinand and Isabell didn't really know if Christopher would come back with anything. They were surprised when he came back with Indian slaves known as the Tainos. Most of the Tainos were killed by diseases from the old world and really were not sure how to treat it as if they were clueless, it was like cancer back then, and now we have a cure.
Queen Isabella gave him 3 ships, enough food for 90 days, and enough men for the job. All the exports were send back to Spain, but the land that Columbus found he was able to govern. LOL
