Who paid Pánfilo de Narváez to do his expeditions?

Pánfilo de Narváez's expeditions in the New World were self-funded through his own resources and political connections, as he was a nobleman and experienced military commander. He sought financial backing from investors and potential colony settlers, as was common practice during the Age of Exploration. Additionally, he may have received support from the Spanish Crown to carry out his explorations in the hopes of expanding Spanish influence and wealth.
