  • 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.
