=Cristopher Columbus' Death .=

 Queen Isabella was quite ill when Columbus returned. When she died on November 26, 1504, Columbus lost his friend and benefactor. Even though he was wealthy from his many explorations, he still felt he should be restored as governor of Hispaniola.

 Finally in the spring of 1505, Ferdinand called him to court. The king heard the explorer's petition, but did nothing. A year later, Christopher Columbus was ill. He died on May 20, 1506, disappointed that he never found the route to the East and convinced he had set foot in Asia rather than a new world.   It was Christopher Columbus son, Fernando, who said that his father died from gout. Who knows if this was the case as in Christopher Columbus day that term was used for all joint complaints. More modern analysis claims that Christopher Columbus probably died of a strange illness called Reiter's Syndrome. It was May 20, 1506, only 2 years since his final voyage that Christopher Columbus died. He was Fifty Four and his place of death was in Valladolid, Spain.
