		The centerpiece of Bernal Diaz's case for the justice of the war is his argument that the innocent needed to be protected from the outrages of barbarous peoples.
		Bernal Diaz's comprehensive assertion that the conquistadores were not as ruthless or destructive as Gomara claimed(36) suggests that the simple correction of factual errors for the sake of the historical record was not Bernal Diaz's only purpose.
		Bernal Diaz replied that he had done so; both Cortes and Don Antonio de Mendoza had written to the emperor on his behalf in 1540.(44) Furthermore, the emperor himself bore witness to his deeds through a royal letter commanding that the viceroy honor Bernal Diaz and his heirs.

		It would seem that, although poor, the family of Díaz was noble and distinguished, for his father was regidor of the important town of Medina del Campo.
		Fuentes also declared that the work was not published as written by Díaz, as it was not printed from the original manuscript but from an unauthorized copy in the library of one Ramírez del Prado which fell into the hands of Father Remón.

		Diaz's account is thorough, and detached, given the gore, the wars, and the grand and terrible horrors and majesties that he encountered as a captain for Cortes.
		Bernal Daz del Castillo's chronicle is the most important and engaging of all, the most truthful and comprehensive account of the conquest of America.
		Although Diaz wrote this much later in life, and doubtless his memory was not perfect, it is obvious that the experience of marching with Cortez in the conquest of the Aztec empire left innumerable vivid memories in his mind.

		Vivid, powerful and absorbing, this is a first-person account of one of the most startling military episodes in history: the overthrow of Montezuma’s doomed Aztec Empire by the ruthless Hernan Cortes and his band of adventurers.
		Bernal Díaz del Castillo, himself a soldier under Cortes, presents a fascinatingly detailed description of the Spanish landing in Mexico in 1520 and their amazement at the city, the exploitation of the natives for gold and other treasures, the expulsion and flight of the Spaniards, their regrouping and eventual capture of the Aztec capital.

		The book is a stirring eyewitness narrative by a foot soldier in the Cortez expedition who participated in all the battles, victories, and near-disasters that befell the Spaniards as they met, fought, and sought to comprehend the extraordinary world their very presence was soon to shatter.
		Diaz saw both the splendor and the collapse of the Mesoamerican civilizations.
		The conquest in Diaz's account is never the inevitable collapse of indigenous resistance before superior European arms that is still too often recounted by modern historians who have forgotten to look at the original sources.

	Cultural Readings - Bernal Diaz
		Diaz's story is a rambling epic, in which Montezuma is a great and powerful emperor, his kingdom vast and wealthy, and his subjects numerous and fierce.
		Diaz never doubts the legitimacy of Spanish claims of ownership: to be Christian and Spanish is to be powerful, and to be powerful is to possess.
		Written in the later 16th century, but not published until the 17th, the "True History" shown here is the first edition.

		Although the 1574 manuscript was published in 1632, long after its appearance in Spain, Díaz del Castillo continued to revise his manuscript in the Americas up until the time he died in 1584.
		Díaz del Castillo, a conquistador, was with Cortés when most of the important incidents related to the conquest of Mexico took place.

		Díaz del Castillo was pleased to record that Dõna Marina was one of New Spain’s first Christians and described her as “good-looking, intelligent, and self-assured.” His account then goes into some detail about her life.
		According to Díaz del Castillo, she married one of Cortés' men, Juan Jaramillo, during the Honduras expedition that followed the conquest of Tenochtitlan.
		It is tempting to conclude that she must have been from an upper class family or she would not have had the access to education that she seems to have had, although the ability to learn languages was not necessarily a product of education.
