Excerpt from Biografia Colombina, 1492-1990: Books, Articles, and Other Publication on the Life and Times of Christopher ColumbusBy the time of his death in 1506, Colon's petitions to the Crown remained unresolved, and he had fallen into disfavor. Finally, in 1508, Diego Colon, his son, initiated a lawsuit against the Crown and entered into a long legal battle that lasted twenty-eight years and ended in a series of compromises. By that time Diego was dead and his widow, Maria de Toledo, had carried on the suit in behalf of her son, Luis Colon, the direct male descendant of Cristobal Colon. In the initial stages of the legal fight to defend the Colon estate, the Capitulaciones formed the basis of the litigation between the Colon family and the Spanish government. The concessions made in 1536 by the Crown resulted in monetary remittances to the Colon estate until 1898, when Spain lost its remaining colonies in the Western Hemisphere in the splendid little war against the United States.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
