Comment
Nikolaus Federmann (Spanish: Nicolás Féderman) (c. 1505, Ulm – February 1542, Valladolid) was a German adventurer and conquistador in what is modern-day Venezuela and Colombia. He is a significant figure in the history of Klein-Venedig (1528–1546), the concession of Venezuela Province that Charles I of Spain granted to the Welser banking family and the foundation of Santafe de Bogotá.
Sebastián Moyano y Cabrera, best known as Sebastián de Belalcázar (c. 1490 – April 28, 1551) was a Spanish conquistador. Belalcázar, also written as Benalcázar, is known as the founder of important early colonial cities in the northwestern part of South America; Quito in 1534 and Cali, Pasto and Popayán in 1537. Belalcázar led expeditions in present-day Ecuador and Colombia and died of natural causes after being sentenced to death in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia in 1551.
Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada y Rivera, also spelled as Ximénez and De Quezada, (1509 – 16 February 1579) was a Spanish explorer and conquistador in northern South America, territories currently known as Colombia. He explored the territory named by him New Kingdom of Granada, and founded its capital, Santafé de Bogotá.
