Columbus
- italian, obsessed with sailing, not from noble blood although he claimed he was, ambitious, enthusiastic, known but not a hero bc of his inability to follow through
- believed he could sail to Asia by traveling west, people thought he was crazy, he lacked money and sponsors (why he pretended to be noble), salesman like to queens and kings
- went to Spain to talk to Ferdenand and Isabella (mainly Isabella, he was a womanizer), the pope told F and I to get the moors (muslims in Spain) out of Spain, Ferdenand says if he can get the moors out of Spain he would fund Columbus's expedition, F did not believe he could get the moors out of Spain which is why he made such a promise
- Columbus got 3 crappy ships bc F wanted C out of his hair (into his wife and annoying), sent C out to die basically (When not If), C fixed boats up as much as he could and headed out, crew was hard to get and C lied to sailors to get them to come with him
- sailors were fed up with C/felt deceived/didn't believe in C's expedition and were planning mutiny (to kill the captain and take over ship, punishable by death), didn't think they would have enough food, in the middle of the ocean, wanted to turn around but C wouldn't allow it
- C called a meeting and said that they were 3 days away from land, on the 3rd night someone found flies flying around their lantern, meaning that land is near, flies don't fly in the middle of the ocean, decided C knew what he was talking about and didn't mutiny, 5th day they saw driftwood, then saw fog and land,
