Which 1492 agreement set Columbus's terms with the Spanish Crown?

Which 1492 agreement set Columbus’s terms with the Spanish Crown? The Capitulations of Santa Fe. Signed on April 17, 1492, the agreement established the privileges and rewards Columbus would receive for his proposed westward expedition.

The Catholic Monarchs, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, granted Columbus the titles of Admiral of the Ocean Sea, viceroy, and governor-general of lands he discovered or conquered. He was also promised a tenth of the wealth and trade generated in those territories.

The document was negotiated and sealed at Santa Fe, a royal military camp near Granada during the final campaign against the Nasrid kingdom. Its name distinguishes it from other agreements in the answer choices: the Treaty of Alcáçovas settled disputes between Castile and Portugal, the Treaty of Tordesillas divided overseas spheres of influence in 1494, and the Laws of Burgos addressed colonial governance in 1512.

The original document has not survived, although authenticated copies and later confirmations remain. Historians also debate whether it functioned as a binding contract or as a revocable royal grant, a dispute that became especially important during legal battles between the Crown and Columbus’s heirs.
