Conquistadors
For God, Glory and Gold, was their rallying cry, but the conquest of much of the New World by Spanish conquistadors, driven by a mentality reminiscent of the medieval crusaders, was surely one of history's turning points, but even in the 16th century, questions were asked about the morality of their exploits.

The emperor, astounded at such audacity, demanded of him who he was. "I am a man," replied Cortés proudly, "who has given you more provinces than your ancestors left you cities."
Death:
Hernán Cortés died in Castilleja de la Cuesta, Seville province, on December 2, 1547, from a case of pleurisy at the age of 62.

How did Francisco Vazquez de Coronado die?
He died at the young age of 44 in 1554 (actual dates are in dispute). He was seriously injured by a fall during his expedition north of Mexico from 1540 to 1542. The searches turned up no treasure and Coronado was left bankrupt, so he took an official position in Mexico City, where he was living when he died.
He was trampled by horses during his expedition in 1541. His saddle broke, and he was trampled by those following him. He received such a serious head injury that he wasn't expected to live, but he pulled through.
The head injury is thought to have been a major factor in the decline of his health, as he was only 44 years old when he died in 1554.
