Detailed explanation-1: -Columbus made his transatlantic voyages under the sponsorship of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, the Catholic Monarchs of Aragon, Castile, and Leon in Spain.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Columbus arrived back in Spain on March 15, 1493, he immediately wrote a letter announcing his discoveries to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, who had helped finance his trip.
Detailed explanation-3: -While Isabella may have suggested selling the jewels at some point, her advisers assured her there were other ways to finance Columbus’s journey. The best way to get money, they told her, was to make the city of Palos pay back a debt to the crown by providing two of the ships.
Detailed explanation-4: -King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain agreed to fund his voyage because they believed that if a whole new sea route was to be discovered that landed in the Indies it would help Spain have the upper hand in the competition against Portugal.
