- Christopher Columbus was arrested and returned to Spain in chains. In 1502, cleared of the most serious charges but stripped of his noble titles, the aging Columbus persuaded the Spanish crown to pay for one last trip across the Atlantic.
- Christopher Columbus died on May 20, 1506 at only 55 years of age due to heart failure. His condition was called gout at the time, but modern doctors suspect that it was rather Reiter's Syndrome, a reactive arthritis caused by bacterial intestinal infections or sexually transmitted diseases.
