Christopher Columbus was not punished by Queen Elizabeth I for his treatment of Indigenous peoples; in fact, he was an Italian explorer sailing under the Spanish flag, primarily associated with King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. Although Columbus faced criticism and was eventually removed from his governorship due to complaints about his administration and treatment of natives, this was not directly related to Queen Elizabeth. The English monarchy, including Queen Elizabeth, had little direct involvement in Columbus's fate or actions.
