The first voyage of Christopher Columbus to the New World was accompanied by the creation of many myths. Among them, there is also the story of Queen Isabella of Castile, who sold all her jewels to secure the necessary funds for the journey of the famous explorer.
In fact, Columbus provided most of his financing, from a financial group of 7 bankers from Genoa, Italy, who developed their activity in Seville, among them Lorenzo de' Medici. And the claim that Columbus' 3 ships were led by convicts is not true either.
Among the men who took part in that expedition were a total of 4 people who accepted amnesty from criminal charges to join the trip. Most of the crews of the 3 ships were experienced sailors.
