April
Federmann, together with Belalcázar, re-founds the city of Bogotá on April 27, 1539, after Jiménez de Quesada fails to fulfill the official requirements of the Spanish Crown concerning the founding of a settlement when he attempted to establish a first Bogotá on August 6, 1538.
The three captains meet on the savanna of New Granada.
All three want to claim New Granada for themselves.
In order to resolve their dispute, Quesada persuades them to go back to Spain with him and to submit their rival territorial claims to the arbitration of the crown.
