Conquistador

Japanese: コンキスタドール
Conquistador
Originally meaning "conqueror" in Spanish, it specifically refers to the Spanish adventurers who conquered North and South America in the early 16th century. Representative figures are H. Cortes, who destroyed the Aztecs, and F. Pizarro, who destroyed the Incas. While they were greedy for gold and treasure as they acquired new territories, they also had a sense of mission to spread Christianity to the people of the unknown world. After the conquest was completed, they came into conflict with the royal family over the encomiendas.

本来はスペイン語で征服者の意だが,特に16世紀初め南北アメリカ大陸を征服したスペイン人冒険者たちをさす。アステカを滅ぼしたH.コルテス,インカを滅ぼしたF.ピサロがその代表的人物。新しい領土を獲得し,黄金・財宝に貪欲である一方,キリスト教を未知の世界の人びとに伝えるという使命感も持っていた。征服が完了すると,エンコミエンダをめぐって王室と対立するようになった。
