 | | Impressed with accounts of the lands of Yucatán and Campeche discovered by Córdoba, another expedition was outfitted in the following year by Diego Velásquez, governor of Cuba. |
 | | Early in 1518, four ships and 300 men were placed under the command of Velasquez's nephew Juan de Grijalva, with Pedro de Alvarado, Alfonso d'Avila, and Francisco Montejo serving as captains. |
 | | Bernal Díaz, who gives an account of Grijalva's voyage, claims he went along as an ensign, although this is doubted by Wagner (1945) based on careful examination of the documents. |
