  • Conquest of La Gomera and El Hierro; the legendary Garoé tree and Canaria turns Grand
    2025/06/12

    In this episode we go over the last adventures and misadventures of our Norman conqueror in the islands. Jean de Bethencourt obtains new troops in Normandy and reinforcements from Castile and tries one last incursion and conquest of the island of Canaria (Canary). His attempt is thwarted by the fierce resistance of the islanders, so he starts referring to it as Gran Canaria (Grand Canary).

    He then abandons this effort to visit the island of La Palma, and conquers La Gomera and El Hierro. Thus, his small empire now counts with the following islands: Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Gomera and El Hierro. We also talk about the sacred tree of El Hierro, the Garoé. We cover its legendary status over history, and the role it possibly played during the conquest efforts and settlement of the Normans and Castilians in El Hierro.
