His father was a middle-class wool merchant. Columbus learnt to sail from an early age and later worked as a business agent, traveling around Europe to England, Ireland and later along the West coast of Africa. He was not a scholar, but was an enthusiastic self-educated man, who read extensively on astronomy, science and navigation. He also became fluent in Latin, Portuguese and Spanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristopher Columbus was a believer in the spherical nature of the world (some Christians still held the view that the world was flat). An ambitious man, Christopher Columbus hoped to find a Western trade route to the lucrative spice markets in Asia. Rather than sailing East, he hoped that sailing west would lead to countries like Japan and China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo gain the necessary funding and support for his journeys, he approached the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. As part of his offer, he said that he hoped to be able to spread Christianity to ‘heathen lands’ in the east. The Spanish monarchs agreed to fund Columbus, partly on the missionary efforts, but also hoping to gain an upper hand in the lucrative trade markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVoyages to the Americas\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColumbus’ first voyage was completed in 1492. He had intended to sail to Japan, but ended up in the Bahamas, which he named San Salvador.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColumbus made a total of four journeys, where he sailed extensively around the Caribbean islands of Cuba, Jamaica, the Bahamas and also to the mainland, to places such as Panama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColumbus was not the first person to reach America. Previous successful voyages included a Norse expedition led by Leif Ericson. However, Columbus was the first to travel to America and establish permanent settlements. Columbus’ voyages and reports, over the next 400 years encouraged all the major European powers to seek to colonize parts of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of the deal, the Spanish monarchy appointed Columbus Viceroy and Governor of the Indies in the island of Hispaniola. He also delegated the governorship to his brothers. However, in 1500, on the orders of the Spanish monarchy, Columbus was arrested and placed in chains. There were allegations of incompetence, misrule and barbaric practices in the governorship of the new colonies. After several weeks in jail, Columbus and his brothers were released, but Columbus was not allowed to be governor of Hispaniola anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTowards the end of his life, Columbus became increasingly religious. In particular, he became fascinated with Biblical prophecies and wrote his own ‘Book of Prophecies’ (1505).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColumbus died in 1506, aged 54 from a heart attack related to reactive arthritis. Undoubtedly, the rigors of traveling across the seas weighed upon Columbus’ health. Towards the end of his life, he was frequently in pain from his journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColumbus is venerated by many European Americans as the man who helped put America on the map. Columbus Day is observed on 12 October in Spain and across the Americas. Others take a more critical view of Columbus, arguing that his “discovery” was not really a discovery if the land was already populated and that through his actions the ensuing European colonization led to the mistreatment and genocide of the native American people who already lived there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the designer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael says, \"The detail of the pieces is quite special and the original designs date back to 1992 when they were created to mark the 500\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e anniversary of the original voyage in 1492. Berkeley Chess have spent considerable time adapting the sculptures to ensure that they work as chess pieces. All characters depicted within the chess set played an important role in the success of the voyages but Christopher Columbus himself was of course the dominant force so would have to be my favourite piece. Vicente Pinzon was also instrumental to the success of the voyage as he accommodated Columbus and his crew on the flagship Nina when the Santa Maria was wrecked. Pinzon’s seamanship and man management skills were the salvation of the expedition especially on the stormy return journey to Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has been a great project for Berkeley Chess to be able to adapt these sculptures to create this chess set. I have always had a keen interest in European and American history and it has been a wonderful experience for me to be able to help create a product capturing what was one of the most important events in the development of the western world.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rich and momentous life of Christopher Columbus has been brought to life in this beautifully detailed chess set.
