Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most fascinating Machiavellian documents to come out of the Renaissance."--Carlos Fuentes, Guardian These five letters from Hernando Cort�s to Emperor Charles V of Spain between the year 1519 and 1526 chronicle the expansion of the Spanish Empire into Mexico. In his detailed and fascinating letters, Cort�s gives an account of the discovery of the mainland, the conquerors trek into hostile country and their clashes with the Aztec people led by Montezuma II. Translated by Francis Augustus MacNutt, this edition contains many enlightening footnotes and an introduction which gives a wider context to the letters and provides a historiography of the contemporary accounts of Cort�s and his conquistadors. "In the letters of Cort�s we have a clear picture of Mexico through the simple eyes of the conqueror who admires his enemies... He could write a masterly report. The second and the third letters are the clearest piece of narrative that we can ask for. We see the advance into the country, the conscientious determination to penetrate by peace, diplomacy or the sword to Montezuma's capital, leading up to the final dramatic meeting with Montezuma himself." ―New Statesman Hernando Cort�s, born 1485, was a Spanish Conquistador who led an expedition that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire and brought large portions of mainland Mexico under the rule of the King of Castile in the early 16th century. Cort�s was part of the generation of Spanish colonizers who began the first phase of the Spanish colonization of the Americas. He died in 1547.

Download or read book How Did the White God Come to Mexico Ce Acatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl written by Stefan Heep and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most American schoolbooks claim that the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II confused the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés for the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, a fabulous, fair-skinned priest king of ancient times who had promised to return, which is why Moctezuma voluntarily surrendered his mighty empire. In the past, the tale of Quetzalcoatl has inspired many people to speculate about pre-Columbian invaders from the Old World. It has also been abused as another presumed proof of white supremacy. Indigenous traditions, however, saw a Mexican Messiah who played an important part in constructing the Mexican national identity. This book demonstrates that the story of the returning god is a product of “fake news” uttered by Cortés. It does so by analysing the most important sources of the Quetzalcoatl-tale. A systematic context-enlargement that also includes ethnographic information and contemporary history reveals why and how Cortés constructed this story, and why and how the Aztec elite adopted it. This method proves to be an epistemological tool which allows researchers to identify pre-Hispanic information in ethnohistorical texts of colonial times. As a result, the true Quetzalcoatl behind the legend comes to light.
