He was literally arrested and imprisoned in Spain because of the fucked up shit he did in the Americas. Even the aristocrats thought he was fucked up, which is really saying something.

I mean they gave him crappy broken boats to get the asshole out of Europe after he offended most of the monarchies. They essentially gave him the same survival rate as Neil Armstrong and figured it might advance their country the same way. But somehow mister pear with a nipple shaped planet came back and with resources so... Tolerated until they once again couldn't.

Allegedly, and he was released after two months, which makes it seems like it was more a political ~~drama~~ move to remove him (*an Italian) from power on the new discovered lands.
