It wasn’t until 1885 and almost a hundred years of abuse by the people of Mexico, it was decided to be placed in the Museo Nacional.

  • Diverging Perspectives on Guzmán's Conquest of Mexico

    743 Words  | 2 Pages

    This week’s reading covered the topic of Guzmán’s conquest of western Mexico. Included were two accounts that showed the conquest in starkly contrasting lights. The first was an account of the expedition written by Cristóbal Flores for the audiencia in Mexico City. The second was a letter written by Guzmán for his majesty while on the expedition. The accounts written by the two men differ sharply in how they portray the events that occurred during the expedition. An example of this can be seen in how they describe the execution of Cazonci, the lord of Michoacán. However, the authors did agree on a few points, including the nature of the indigenous allies’ actions. In order to better understand the nature of this expedition it is important to both examine the contradictions within the accounts and examine where they were in agreement.
