  3. Brief Explanations
    Historical Context:

    This is a 1516 account by Bernal Díaz, a Spanish conquistador, detailing preparations by Hernán Cortés (the captain-general referenced) for his expedition to Mesoamerica, part of the early Spanish colonial era of the Americas marked by conquest, religious proselytization, and pursuit of wealth.

    Intended Audience:

    The primary audience would have been contemporary Spanish authorities, fellow Spaniards (including potential recruits for expeditions), and later readers interested in the events of Spanish conquest, as the account records official and expeditionary actions.

    Purpose:

    To document the lead-up to Cortés' colonial expedition, including his securing of funds, symbolic preparation of banners, and recruitment proclamation, to contextualize the expedition's motives (faith-driven conquest, wealth acquisition) and formal organization.

    Document Summary:

    In 1516, Bernal Díaz records that after being named captain-general, Cortés borrowed 4,000 pesos in coin and 4,000 pesos in goods from merchant friends, using his Indian and land holdings as collateral. He had gold-embroidered standards and banners made, bearing the royal arms, a cross, and a rallying cry to follow the Holy Cross to victory. He then ordered a public proclamation (announced with trumpets and drums) in the name of the Spanish king and himself, offering recruits a share of gold, silver, riches, and Indian slaves (once the lands were converted to Christianity) in exchange for joining his expedition to conquer and settle newly discovered lands.
