#1 The king of that land, who had been friendly towards Columbus, changed his attitude and attacked the men of La Navidad when they returned. The Indians were so moved by their misfortune that they began to cry out of compassion.

#2 In 1565, the Spanish attacked Fort Caroline, France’s first settlement in the Americas, near present-day Jacksonville. They easily overwhelmed the small fort, and 132 French soldiers and civilians were killed. The Spanish suffered no losses.

#3 The French settlement of Fort Caroline was attacked and destroyed by a hurricane in 1565, leaving its inhabitants, who were Huguenots, French Protestants who followed the teachings of John Calvin, defenseless. They were captured by Spanish troops and ferried across an inlet to a group of dunes, where they were fed a last meal.

#4 On October 11, the remaining French survivors, including Captain Jean Ribault, arrived at the same inlet. They were met by Menéndez and told that the other French had been killed. 134 people were ferried across the inlet and executed.
