Pedro de Alvarado
1485‐1541
Spanish conquistador. He participated in Juan de Grijalva's second Mexican expedition in 1518. In 1520, he joined H. Cortes' Mexican expedition and served as his right-hand man, but he committed a massacre of Indians that led to the Sad Night (Noche Triste). After the conquest of Mexico, he was appointed inspector-general and governor of Guatemala in 1523, and founded Guatemala City the following year. He later attempted an expedition to Peru, but abandoned it midway and went to put down the Indian rebellion that broke out in New Galicia, known as the Micheton War, where he was killed in battle.
