Hernan Cortez biography - 0 views

  • Finally, in 1504, Hernan Cortes boarded a ship commanded by Alonso Quintero, departing for the west.  Quintero was ambitious.  More than once he tried to sneak away from his companions, so that he could secure the market for himself.  He was not very successful, but perhaps his ambition rubbed off on the young Cortes.In Hispaniola (Now Haiti and the Dominican Republic) Cortes went to the house of the Governor, who he knew from Spain.  The Governor was gone, and the secretary assured him that he would be able to get a land grant.  "But I came to get gold," he replied, "not to till the soil, like a peasant."When the Governor returned, Hernan Cortez was finally convinced to take a piece of land for a time.  He didn't entirely settle down, though.  He was involved in the military, suppressing native uprisings.  He was also often in duels over one girl or another.Over the next few years, Hernan Cortes took part in conquests of Cuba and Hispaniola, and received more land an native slaves as a result.  He became an important man in the colony of Cuba, and he became mayor of Santiago.  Eventually, he married the sister-in-law of Governor Velázquez, Catalina Xuárez.A whole other Hernan Cortez biography could be written about this time in his life.  He had a very troubled time, even being put in jail at one point.  He was very dissatisfied with his life, remaining ambitious for more wealth, more slaves, more adventure.
  • Mexico was just newly discovered when Hernan Cortes was allowed to lead a small expedition to explore.  The Governor actually changed his mind and cancelled the expedition, but Cortes went anyway on February 18th.  It was 1519 - he would have been about 34 years old.Cortez quickly took control of the situation.  Landing in the Yucatán, he met Jeronimo de Aguilar, a Franciscan priest who knew Mayan.  Cortes claimed the land for Spain, and began his conquest.  He met his future mistress, who knew Mayan and Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs).  Taking his men to Veracruz, he officially ignored the authority of the Governor and claimed to be acting under the direct authority of Emperor Charles V.  In reality, he was taking charge of the situation absolutely, and ready to claim the gold and power he had been looking for.

    "He went to Hispaniola (1510), sailed in the expedition (1518) of Juan de Grijalva, and was the chief lieutenant of Hernán Cortés in the conquest of Mexico. He commanded at Tenochtitlán in the absence of Cortés, and his brutality provoked a brief native rebellion."

Biography / Cortes and the Conquest of Mexico - 0 views

  • In Cuba, Cortes married a woman named Catalina Xuarez, although not by free will. Cortes was imprisoned twice, and escaped twice, only to give in at the end by marrying Catalina. He did this not because he wanted to, but because he had in fact promised to marry her and he wanted to live a peaceful life (Gomara, 1964). After this, he made ready to journey to Mexico.
  • After Cortes had conquered Mexico he returned to Spain expecting to be given the governorship of Mexico, something he fought in vain for for his entire life. He became poor and fell under numerous lawsuits which drained his accounts even more. He made a trip back to Mexico and led a few failed expeditions to the North and South before returning to Spain once more, still asking for the governorship. He remarried a woman named Juana de Zuniga after the death of Catalina. Cortes tried for a time to live a quiet life without much adventure but found it impossible and soon he was planning another trip to Mexico. Unfortunately, Cortes fell ill and died on December 2, 1547 at the age of sixty three in Seville, Spain (Gomara, 1964). He left behind a son from Juana de Zuniga named Martin, who inherited his estate. He had three daughters from her as well, named Maria, Catalina, and Juana.He also had another son from his translator in Mexico, Marina, whom he also named Martin. There was also another son from a Spanish woman named Luis Cortes and finally three daughters from three different Indian women. He founded the Hospital of Jesus in Mexico as well as a school and a nunnery

Latin American History: The Conquistadors - 0 views

  • In 1519, the ambitious Hernán Cortés set out from Cuba with 600 men on an expedition to the mainland in present-day Mexico. He soon came into contact with the mighty Aztec Empire, home to millions of citizens and thousands of warriors. By deftly exploiting traditional feuds and rivalries among the tribes that made up the Empire, he was able to conquer the mighty Aztecs, securing a vast fortune and noble title for himself. He also inspired thousands of Spaniards to swarm to the New World to try and emulate him.
  • All of the conquistadors who came to the New World were ruthless, tough, ambitious and cruel, but Pedro de Alvarado was in a class by himself. Known by the natives as "Tonatiuh," or "Sun God" for his blonde hair, Alvarado was Cortés' most trusted lieutenant, and the one Cortés trusted to explore and conquer lands to the south of Mexico.
  • Alvarado found the remnants of the Maya Empire and using what he had learned from Cortés, soon turned local ethnic groups' mistrust of one another to his advantage.
