	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hernando Cortes
		Cortés personally was not ungenerously rewarded, but he speedily complained of insufficient compensation to himself and his comrades.
		Cortés held the country and its resources, and controlled a body of officers and men who had, in 1520, expressed to the emperor in writing their admiration for their captain, and dwelt in the strongest terms on the obligations under which his achievements had placed the mother country.
		Cortés' position was gradually undermined, titles and honours were conferred upon him, but not the administrative authority he coveted.
