Christopher Columbus and his brother, Diego, were imprisoned in 1500 due to accusations of mismanagement and tyranny during their governance of the colonies in the New World. Complaints from colonists and native populations highlighted their harsh treatment and failure to establish effective administration. The Spanish Crown, concerned about the reports of unrest and misrule, sent a royal agent to investigate, leading to their arrest and imprisonment in Spain. They were eventually released, but their reputation was significantly tarnished.
