Although Christopher Columbus was the son of a Genoese weaver, to whom did he request funding for ships to sail west across the Atlantic Ocean?
 
  A) He requested funding from King John II of Portugal, but he was turned down.
  B) He requested funding from Queen Isabella of Spain, and he was granted three ships.
  C) He requested funding from King John II of Portugal first, but was turned down because the plan was unsound. He then asked for funding from Queen Isabella and ships were granted.
  D) He requested funding from the Medici family in Florence, but they were unconvinced the world was round.
  E) Pope Borgia also turned down Columbus as he did not believe in Ptolemy's map of the world as a sphere, despite mathematical evidence to the contrary.
