SLAVERY AND FREEDOM OF THE NATIVES OF THE NEW WORLD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE XVI CENTURY AS A RESULT OF THE POLICY OF CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE SPANISH CROWN AND THE "HOUSE OF COLUMBUS"

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of the work is to show that the policy of enslaving the natives and/or providing them in the New World is a consequence of the political and legal battles within Spain between the "House of Columbus" and the "House of Trustamara" at the beginning of the XVI century. The result of the work was the analysis of sources and texts of the bulls of Pope Alexander VI in 1493, letters of Catholic kings, laws prepared by the Junta of Burgos in 1512, and their additions - laws prepared by the Junta of Valladolid in 1513, which were translated from Spanish and Latin into Russian and English. The chronological frameworks were compared and considered for the filing of claims by Diego Columbus against the king Ferdinand II of Aragon and the further confrontation between the Crown of Spain and the "House of Columbus". The reasons for the struggle in 1511 in the West Indies between the Franciscan Order and the Dominican Order were investigated.
