"Christopher Columbus travelled almost as much after death as before! He died in Valladolid in 1506 and was initially buried in a cemetery there. Three years later his family had his body transferred to Seville where his eldest son, Diego, was buried next to him in 1526. Later, however, Diego's widow insisted on having both bodies moved to Santo Domingo on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, claiming that is what Christopher would have wanted! When the French threatened to capture Hispaniola in 1795, the Spanish authorities had Columbus' remains transferred to Cuba for safekeeping. A century later Cuba got its independence and Christopher was transferred, finally, to Seville cathedral. Or was he? For years there were rumours that it was the body of Diego that made the move to Havana (and then to Seville). However, DNA fingerprinting in 2006 proved that at least some of the remains in Seville Cathedral are those of Christopher Columbus!" - Gordon Herd from Bookmarklet
