Hernando Cortes began exploration as a way to make his fortune. He is best known for the European discovery and defeat of the Aztec and Mayan tribes. His discoveries and ambition allowed him rise to the position of Governor and Captain General of New Spain. Amidst criticisms that he was becoming too powerful, many of his powers were taken back. He returned to Spain in 1541 embittered. He died in 1547.
