Originally titled Historia Verdadera de la Conquista de la Nueva Espana (The True History of the Conquest of New Spain), this first-person narrative by the military adventurer, conquistador, and settler Bernal Diaz del Castillo (1492-1584) recounts the fall of Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II, the defeat of the Aztec Empire, and his participation in the Spanish military campaigns that brought them about. Diaz served in three Mesoamerican expeditions, that of Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba to the Yucatan peninsula (1517); that of Juan de Grijalva (1518), and finally the expedition of Hernan Cortes (1519) in the Valley of Mexico. Amongst chroniclers, Diaz was most celebrated as Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) was amongst novelists.
