Years: 1494 - 1494
Alonso Fernández de Lugo had been granted the right to conquer the island of Tenerife in December 1493 by the Catholic Monarchs (Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon)
Coming from Gran Canaria, the conqueror lands on the coast of present-day Santa Cruz de Tenerife in April 1494 and disembarks with about two thousand men on foot and two hundred on horseback.
After taking the fort, the army prepared to move inland, later capturing the native kings of Tenerife and presenting them to Isabella and Ferdinand.
