What happened when Columbus returned to his country?
Nothing much. He did not bring back the gold he promised the crown and as far as they were concerned he did not meet the conditions of his contract with them, so they did not bestow honors or titles on him. After his death his son took them to court to gain the promised titles and money that the crown withheld . He was not a hero or famous in his time. It is in only in modern history that the fable of his voyage grew.
