He had heard the tales of the 4 old men who had arrived in New Spain. They had told the Viceroy Mendoza, that a vast city of indians, had numerous amounts of Gold. Also known as the seven cities of Gold, Mendoza appointed Coronado to explore and conquer these cities, which could increase the wealth of Spain. The two cities that were named were Cibola, and Quivira.
