Cristoforo Colombo - Season 1 Episode 18
Columbus wishes to start his western voyage as soon as possible, however, the Spanish Royal Family doesn't seem to consider it a priority, notwithstanding the promises that Queen Isabella had made. Columbus then returns to the monastery of Rebida, where he is reunited with Father Perez and his son Diego. Father Marchena introduces Columbus to a famous sailor by the name of Pinzon, and asks him how he feels about the Genoese sailor's project. Columbus next reveals to Father Marchena that he owns a very detailed chart of Toscanelli, a map which was thought to be secret of Portugal. Columbus believes that this map will play a great role in convincing the Queen of his project's legitimacy. Father Perez then sends a letter to the Queen, and after few days, Columbus is convoked by her. Columbus tells her about the importance of predicating the Gospel in the Indies. Columbus receives a convocation from the Queen. Happy with this, he then departs for Spain hoping to soon assemble a crew.
