afiinities. The greatest of all discover
ers was himself destined TO wed the
daughter of discoverer.
( Columbus often went to mass on Sun
days and other obligatory days. His
residence in Lisbon being near the con.
vent of All Saints, he resorted thither
to perform his devotions, and in his as
siduous attendance there it was his fate
to be attracted by Dona Felipa Muniz
until he sought and obtained her in
marriage.
The affection of Columbus for the
young Lusitanian doubtless possessed
practical features also in view of the
silor's desire to live for the realiza-
ton in his ripper age of the work already
fully planned in the latter years of his
exuberant youth. Moreover, credit
ing his contemporaries as we should,
the incompatible pilot displayed two
traits capable of turning the head
will not say of Dona Felipa but of
every woman-eloquence and personal
attractiveness.
Hismany graees captivated her senses,
his eloquence, her mind. Felipa Muniz,
daughter of Philippine Peretrello, and
Christopher Columbus were made one,
in conformity with religion and law,
in holy indissoluble wedlock, in the
year l47l. The year following their
union a son was born to them who was
batized in Lisbon and named Diego.
