Don Hern???n Cort???s de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano, Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca (/k r t s/; Spanish: [e na ko tes ???e mon roj i pi aro]; 1485 - December 2, 1547) was a Spanish Conquistador who led an expedition that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire and brought large portions of what is now mainland Mexico under the rule of the King of Castile in the early 16th century. Cort???s was part of the generation of Spanish colonizers who began the first phase of the Spanish colonization of the Americas.Born in Medell???n, Spain, to a family of lesser nobility, Cort???s chose to pursue adventure and riches in the New World. He went to Hispaniola and later to Cuba, where he received an encomienda (the right to the labor of certain subjects). For a short time, he served as alcalde (magistrate) of the second Spanish town founded on the island. In 1519, he was elected captain of the third expedition to the mainland, which he partly funded. His enmity with the Governor of Cuba, Diego Vel???zquez de Cu???llar, resulted in the recall of the expedition at the last moment, an order which Cort???s ignored. Arriving on the continent, Cort???s executed a successful strategy of allying with some indigenous people against others. He also used a native woman, Do???a Marina, as an interpreter. She later bore his first son. When the Governor of Cuba sent emissaries to arrest Cort???s, he fought them and won, using the extra troops as reinforcements. Cort???s wrote letters directly to the king asking to be acknowledged for his successes instead of being punished for mutiny.
