Description

Fernando Cortés Monroy Pizarro Altamirano (1485–1547), better known as Fernando, Hernando, Fernán or Hernán Cortés, was a Spanish conquistador who conquered Mexico and destroyed the Aztec state. King Charles V granted him the title Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca. There are few sources about Cortés’s life, so historians strongly differ in their assessment of his personality and legacy. In the novel about the famous, brave, ruthless, and cunning conquistador—about his plans and desires, his victories and defeats—his friend and fellow soldier tells the story. And in his memories, we see an entirely different man!
