Excerpt: ...were these combats d Voutrance conducted, and with such skill did they manage their weapons, that they drew forth the admiration of the Spaniards, at that period a people most conspicuous among Europeans for their chivalrous practices. Upon his return to Tezcuco, Cortes again received a message from Chalco, soliciting aid against the Mexicans. Sandoval was again sent to their aid. This officer and his detachment having performed prodigies of valour, returned to Tezcuco. As soon, however, as his back was turned upon the town, it was once more invested by another body of the enemy, and the Chalcans sent a message to Cortes, telling him they were now in as great danger as before. These messengers arrived simultaneously with Sandoval and his army, WELCOME INTELLIGENCE. 251 when the general, suspecting some negligence on the part of his officer, severely reprimanded him, and ordered him back to Chalco. In silence Sandoval obeyed, but, upon his return, wounded by the treatment he had received, retired to his own quarters without presenting himself before his chief. The coolness, however, between these brave men did not long continue; for Cortes, having discovered his error, made the most ample apologies to Sandoval. Soon after he received news that three vessels had arrived at Villa Rica with 200 men, 80 horses, and a large supply of arms and ammunition. This was welcome intelligence for the general, but as good came to the soldiers; for a Dominican friar had arrived in the same ship, bringing a quantity of pontifical bulls, offering indulgences to those engaged in war against the infidel. This was a profitable transaction for the good father; for such a prosperous traffic did he drive in these spiritual wars, that at the end of a few months he...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Conquests of Mexico and Peru: With a Sketch of the Early Adventures of the Spaniards in the New World; Re-Told for Youth One day, about three hundred and seventy years ago, as the prior was passing through the porch, his attention was called to two strangers, wayworn and wearied, whom the porter was regaling with bread and water. They were no ordinary mendi cants, for such callers were too frequent to have turned aside the prior from his meditations. One was a little boy, the other a tall, powerfully-framed man, with fair, freckled skin, bright gray eyes, hair of snowy whiteness but although his apparel was of the humblest, if not the shabbiest description, and his age must have been at least fifty-five, his demeanour was so commanding, and altogether remarkable, that the prior, who, from his accent, could tell that he was a foreigner, entered into conversation with him. Mar chena had soon gathered the outlines of the wayfarer's story. He was one who had offered a new world to kings and states - a man whose heart and brain were bursting with the fullness of an idea that courtiers had deemed folly, if not madness. After years of deferred hope and profitless negotiations, he was, at the time he begged bread and water at the monastery door, on his way to a neighbouring town, to seek his brother-in-law, with whom he intended leaving his son, while he placed before the French king those plans which the sove reigns of Spain and Portugal had refused to adopt. Need I tell you - that man was Columbus - To under stand, however, how those, mighty plans took root and became developed in his brain, and how that the good prior should have become so deeply interested in them, we must go back some seventy-seven years anterior to the day when the subsequently great admiral and dis coverer sought bread and water at the monastery.

Download or read book Conquistadores written by Fernando Cervantes and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping, authoritative history of 16th-century Spain and its legendary conquistadors, whose ambitious and morally contradictory campaigns propelled a small European kingdom to become one of the formidable empires in the world “The depth of research in this book is astonishing, but even more impressive is the analytical skill Cervantes applies. . . . [He] conveys complex arguments in delightfully simple language, and most importantly knows how to tell a good story.” —The Times (London) Over the few short decades that followed Christopher Columbus's first landing in the Caribbean in 1492, Spain conquered the two most powerful civilizations of the Americas: the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru. Hernán Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, and the other explorers and soldiers that took part in these expeditions dedicated their lives to seeking political and religious glory, helping to build an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. But centuries later, these conquistadors have become the stuff of nightmares. In their own time, they were glorified as heroic adventurers, spreading Christian culture and helping to build an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. Today, they stand condemned for their cruelty and exploitation as men who decimated ancient civilizations and carried out horrific atrocities in their pursuit of gold and glory. In Conquistadores, acclaimed Mexican historian Fernando Cervantes—himself a descendent of one of the conquistadors—cuts through the layers of myth and fiction to help us better understand the context that gave rise to the conquistadors' actions. Drawing upon previously untapped primary sources that include diaries, letters, chronicles, and polemical treatises, Cervantes immerses us in the late-medieval, imperialist, religious world of 16th-century Spain, a world as unfamiliar to us as the Indigenous peoples of the New World were to the conquistadors themselves. His thought-provoking, illuminating account reframes the story of the Spanish conquest of the New World and the half-century that irrevocably altered the course of history.

Download or read book The Discovery and Conquest of Peru written by Pedro de Cieza de Leon and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1999-02-11 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dazzled by the sight of the vast treasure of gold and silver being unloaded at Seville’s docks in 1537, a teenaged Pedro de Cieza de León vowed to join the Spanish effort in the New World, become an explorer, and write what would become the earliest historical account of the conquest of Peru. Available for the first time in English, this history of Peru is based largely on interviews with Cieza’s conquistador compatriates, as well as with Indian informants knowledgeable of the Incan past. Alexandra Parma Cook and Noble David Cook present this recently discovered third book of a four-part chronicle that provides the most thorough and definitive record of the birth of modern Andean America. It describes with unparalleled detail the exploration of the Pacific coast of South America led by Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro, the imprisonment and death of the Inca Atahualpa, the Indian resistance, and the ultimate Spanish domination. Students and scholars of Latin American history and conquest narratives will welcome the publication of this volume.

Download or read book An Inca Account of the Conquest of Peru written by Ralph Bauer and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available in English for the first time, An Inca Account of the Conquest of Peru is a firsthand account of the Spanish invasion, narrated in 1570 by Diego de Castro Titu Cusi Yupanqui - the penultimate ruler of the Inca dynasty - to a Spanish missionary and transcribed by a mestizo assistant. The resulting hybrid document offers an Inca perspective on the Spanish conquest of Peru, filtered through the monk and his scribe. Titu Cusi tells of his father's maltreatment at the hands of the conquerors; his father's ensuing military campaigns, withdrawal, and murder; and his own succession as ruler. Although he continued to resist Spanish attempts at "pacification," Titu Cusi entertained Spanish missionaries, converted to Christianity, and then, most importantly, narrated his story of the conquest to enlighten Emperor Phillip II about the behavior of the emperor's subjects in Peru. This vivid narrative illuminates the Incan view of the Spanish invaders and offers an important account of indigenous resistance, accommodation, change, and survival in the face of the European conquest. Informed by literary, historical, and anthropological scholarship, Bauer's introduction points out the hybrid elements of Titu Cusi's account, revealing how it merges native Andean and Spanish rhetorical and cultural practices. This new English edition will interest students of colonial Latin American history and culture and of Native American literatures.
