years ago

23 January 1516,

Fernando, king of Aragon and Castile, who conquered Navarre dies, for some “distortions” of Fernando, for others “Catholic”. He funded Beaumon to conquer the kingdom of Navarre and anyone willing to fight the Navarros. He pressured the Pope to achieve his objectives, exerting with false accusations the king of Navarre and justifying the conquest of Navarre. In the conquest of America, he also began the massacre of indigenous peoples.
