Bernal Díaz del Castillo

Bernal Díaz del Castillo
1492?-1583?
A military chronicler of H. Cortes' conquest of Mexico. He traveled to the West Indies in 1514, and in 1519 joined the Mexican expedition as a private under Alvarado. He obtained encomiendas in Tabasco and Chiapas on the Gulf Coast of Mexico, where he settled for a time, but in 1524 he joined Cortes' expedition to Honduras. He lost and gained encomiendas in the ensuing conflicts between the conquerors, but he was always dissatisfied with his treatment and worked hard to petition for rewards, even traveling to Spain twice. He settled in Guatemala City from 1540 onwards, and spent the rest of his long life as a city councillor.
