1551-The Trial

It has been seven long, torturous years in my jail cell in Spain, and finally I have been brought to the Council of the Indies to attempt to clear my name. Unfortunately, in the long run I was found guilty of being a tyrant, and mismanagement to the Rio de la Plata colony I had encountered, and I was thereby banned from Africa. Thankfully, I had friends in high places, and King Charles still liked and believed I was not a tyrant, and that I did only try to help my colony, and other colonies, and eventually reversed the decision made by the Council of the Indies, and I was then appointed governor for the rest of my life.
