Hernando Cortes was born in Medellin, Spain in 1485. He was 14 when he was sent to the University of Salamanca to study law. His parents were both from the middle class family, but not wealthy.

Cortes first married Catalina Xuares, a Spanish lady. They did not have any children. After Catalina's death, Cortes married Dona Juana de Zuniga. From this marriage, they had four children, one son and three daughters. He started his military service and became skillful. This was the start of his life as a great explorer and a brilliant strategist. His nickname was Killer. He became really wealthy after finding New Spain.

He took ten ships, well-armed men, 550 conquistadors, 300 Indians, and a dozen horses with him. He arrived at Trinidad and then Havana finding Velasquez still wanting to stop him. Cortes finally reached and took over the city of Tabasco. Cortes found out that Montezuma (the Aztec king) ruled over a large empire called Tenochtitlan, which had lasted for three centuries. He also found out that Montezuma was very powerful and rich. Cortes planned to conquer Tenochtitlan. He founded the town of Vera Cruz and became the captain-general of the new colony.

He conquered Mexico and a small part California. He named them New Spain. When he returned to Spain, he was really rich and famous.

Personal Reaction: I think that Hernando Cortes was mean for killing the Aztecs and was very powerful. I think he is powerful because he has a huge army.
