Answer: There were three leaders in total of the Encomiendas.

Explanation: First, the leader of the Encomiendas was Christopher Columbus. However, after the ousting of Christopher Columbus by the Spanish Crown due to his crimes, he was replaced by Francisco de Bobadillo. After his reign, he was replaced by a royal governor named Fray Nicolás de Ovando, who established the formal Encomiando system.
