So in our timeline the european colonizers could establish direct control of the newly conquered or settled territory in America. Is there a possibility that at least some of the conquistadors become hereditary rulers of their colonys as vassals of the motherland? Like a Prince Hernan Cortes of Mexico or Lord William Penn of Pennsylvania thus establishing new dynasties in America. Is it even possible with 1492 as a start date or would an earlier discovery of the americas help?
