Who was franciso Pizarro?

Pizarro was a Spanish explorer. Most people think the conquistadors were great amazing people saving the day, but that is not true at all, in fact, most of them were poor peasants and soldiers looking for a better life. They just happened to luck out. Pizarro was son of Gonzalo Pizarro, who had him out of wedlock. He was born somewhere between 1471-1476, and died on June 26, 1541. He was the second cousin once removed of Hernan Cortes, destroyer of the Aztec Empire. Pizarro wanted to mark his own name in history as well. In 1513, Pizarro arrived at the isthmus of Panama, becoming the first European to see the Pacific Coast of the new world. He was made Mayor of Panama City. Years later, Pizarro made an alliance with priest Hernando de Luque, and soldier Diego de Alamagro. He had heard stories of El Dorado, a city of pure gold. After several excursions and battles, Fransisco Pizarro finally conquered the Incas in 1532. After a dispute over jurisdiction, Diego de Alamagro was executed in 1538, and his son, Alamagro II, was left with nothing. Three years later, Diego de Alamagro II led an attack on Pizarro's palace at Lima and took his place as Governor of New Castle. During his lifetime, Pizarro did many notable things such as founding Lima and defeating the Incan empire. Pizarro was the infamous conquistador that is said to have had the king of the Inca Civilization murdered in 1533.
