FRANCISCO PIZARRO

One of the most notorious and presumably also merciless Conquisidators. Pizarro was born around 1478 in a small village called La Zarza close to the small town Trujillo. A barren landscape in the southwest of Spain called Extremadura. Francisco grew up in the poor extended farmers family of his mother.
He herded pigs and worked in the mill of a relative now and again. In the first years of the new century, Francisco Pizarro was probably busy with slavery and the search for gold on Espanola (Haiti) and the surrounding islands. The success with that is only moderate, so he becomes drawn towards ventourus men, searching for a new sea in the south. On a sunny morning they stand beside a big ocean, called El Mar del Sur. On one evening a Kazike of the Tiba-tribe appears in his full chief dress and gold jewellery in the camp of the white bearded people. He told them about a big nation with a powerful king in the far south, where the gold would be in plenty.
From this day on Pizarro had only one destination, he will discover the fabulous and conquer the fabulous gold country. The year 1513, he is 35 years old. Years later, after searching for sponsors Pizarro leaves Panama on 14th of November 1524. On board are 112 Spaniards and 4 horses. But the season was chosen badly, no trace of the gold country. At the river Biru Pizarro gives the command to return. Two years later they hoist the sails again and reach the port Tumbez, one of the most northern cities of the great Inca Empire.
They discovered the empire of the sungod. The year 1527 goes by.
In 1528, in Toledo, Pizarro stands in front of the young monarch Karl the 5th who is depressed by great worries. So the man who comes from West India, who promises a “goldland”, suits him just right. The "Indian Council" designated Pizarro to be the Governor and General Captain of the still to be conquered country. In Trujillo he recruited some daredevil country lads, also his four half-brothers joined him. They all found their dead in Peru, except Hernando Pizarro. After a solemn divine service in Panama, Pizarro sailed at the beginning of January 1531 with one large and two small ships, 180 soldiers and 27 horses to the south, a tiny force to conquer an empire whose power and size he did not know.
