Detailed explanation-1: -Columbus returned to Spain in chains in 1500. Columbus’s governance of Hispaniola could be brutal and tyrannical. Colonists complained to the monarchy about mismanagement, and a royal commissioner dispatched to Hispaniola arrested Columbus in August 1500 and brought him back to Spain in chains.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although Columbus was a gifted sailor, he was a terrible administrator, and the colony he founded on Hispaniola turned against him. After his third trip he was arrested and sent back to Spain in chains. Although he was quickly freed by the King and Queen, his reputation was shot.
Detailed explanation-3: -His third voyage in 1498 took him to Trinidad and within reach of the South American continent, and his final voyage in 1502 brought him down to central America and Jamaica before he ultimately gave up.
Detailed explanation-4: -The monarchs ultimately decided to allow Columbus to keep his titles and money. However, they no longer allowed him to actually rule any colony in the new world..
