Famous or infamous that is the question. Francisco Pizarro, destroyer of the Inca Empire, in his search for Gold, God and Glory. Some may say that he got his come uppence when he was assassinated in 1541, by the supporters of Diego Almagro II in Lima. He is considered a criminal in parts of Peru.
He was a "conquistador", a Spanish word meaning "conqueror". He was one of the leaders - adventurers sent by the Spanish throne in search of GOLD and power. Of course, officially his main aim was to Christianise the "poor savages" in S America. He spoiled and killed and he helped turn Spain in one of the greatest world powers of that time. I don't think the Spanish are too proud of this particular heritage.
