A Duke University researcher has found evidence that Christopher Columbus was not of humble Italian origins, but was the scion of Polish royalty:

The fresh evidence about Columbus’ background is revealed in a new book by Manuel Rosa, an academic at Duke University in the United States.

He says the voyager was not from a family of humble Italian craftsmen as previously thought – but the son of Vladislav III, an exiled King of Poland.
