Hernán Cortés' expedition to Mexico was sponsored by the Spanish crown, particularly by King Charles I of Spain. Initially, he received support from Diego Velázquez, the governor of Cuba, who appointed him as the leader of the expedition. However, Cortés later sought independent authority and funding directly from the crown, which allowed him to pursue his conquests in the Aztec Empire.
