Bücher von Hernando Cortes

Cortes's letters to the Emperor from Mexico are half-letters, half-despatches. The letters were all written between 1519 and 1526.

These five letters, written by the Spanish conqueror, Hernando Cortes, to the Emperor Charles V of Spain between 1519 and 1526, record the earliest discoveries of mainland Mexico, and describe the Spanish invasion and conquest of Montezuma's empire through the eyes of the conqueror.
