When rumors of the confusion in Isabella reached Spain the king and queen sent [[Francisco de Bodilla]] to investigate. Bodilla arrested Columbus and his brother in the name of the crown, took charge of Isabella forcefully and sent them back to Spain. Columbus begged for one more chance to explore “Asia”.
