BiographyAdrian de Moxica was born to a Spanish noble family of Basque descent. In 1498 he accompanied Christopher Columbus on his third journey to the Americas, where he participated in the rebellion against Columbus in 1499 led by Francisco Roldán. Moxica had a crucial part in the rebellion and was the main initiator of the atrocities against the Native Americans against the will of Christopher Columbus. Although the rebellion was successful, de Moxica was arrested by Columbus' troops and hanged. In popular cultureAdrián de Moxica was portrayed by Michael Wincott in the Ridley Scott's 1992 film Conquest of Paradise. Moxica fills a prominent role in the film as Columbus' nemesis, who assumes the role as the leader of Roldán's rebellion with his friend Hernando de Guevara. In the film, Moxica cuts off the hand of a Native American who claimed to have found no gold to pay for his taxes. Columbus's political rival, Francisco de Bobadilla, whose slander was ultimately dismissed by the Crown, though not before he managed to utilize the slander as a tool to usurp the governorship of the West Indies, falsely claimed that it was Columbus who introduced the practice of mutilation as punishment, as reported in 2006 [1]. Primary sources, including Historia de las Indias, authored by historian Bartolomé de las Casas, show that because Bobadilla's calumny was debunked by evidence to the contrary and dismissed by the Crown, Columbus is properly portrayed in the movie as a benevolent figure.
