	Lope de Aguirre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aguirre was born circa 1510 in Araotz Valley, in the province of Gipuzkoa, belonging to the kingdom of Castile.
		Lope de Aguirre, however, took part in the plot with Melchor Verdugo to free the viceroy, and thus turned against Gonzalo Pizarro.
		Aguirre fought and was wounded at the battle of Chuquinga against Girón, resulting an incurable limp that would ostracise him from his peers.

	Buber's Basque Page: Lope de Aguirre
		Lope de Aguirre, now organized, surrounded himself with a chosen and ferocious guard that at his command wielded the sword, the saber or the terrible foil.
		Lope de Aguirre knew this and channeled this discontent and this desire to return to Peru, but through Panama, taking possession of the fleet and picking up all of the discontents of the area.
		The physical aspect of Lope de Aguirre must have been insignificant and possibly his most outstanding features were his fiery look, his speed in acting, his ability to dominate stallions and direct the construction of boats and the dotes speeches, epistolares and notariales.

		Aguirre was maimed for life as a result of this punishment, and swore revenge against the magistrate.
		Lope de Aguirre didn't agree — he argued that there was much more gold back in Peru, where they had started, and that it was much easier to get (presumably by stealing it and plundering it from others).

		“Lope de Aguirre should not be made into a tragic but misunderstood hero, nor should one excuse, defend, or glorify his remarkable life, much less the Spanish conquest of America generally.
		In his own mind, Aguirre is a man with all the power of a god and an individual who is more considerable than any of his peers.
		During the entire film, Aguirre had been attempting to occupy that which was not his, and now he is finally being defeated by that which is stronger that him.

	Aguirre: Wrath of God
		The monk Gaspar de Carvajal existed too, but his name is connected with another very obscure expedition which had nothing to do with that of Aguirre… the rest of the script is pure invention…the language isn’t realistic, its more a hallucinatory language, unreal.
		While one might read about Aguirre’s crazed exploits in books and determine that it was the harsh treatment by authority that shaped him, one gets no impression of the power of the landscape, or of how it could warp an individual’s fate or control his destiny.
		Thus, Aguirre’s formulation of himself as a “traitor”, and his ultimate failure are used by Herzog to illustrate his attitude to revolutionary movements within the 1960s and 1970s.

		Aguirre has different ideas of what the goal of the expedition should be, namely that the quest for gold should be replaced with the conquering of a great slab of territory, as land brings power, not gold.
		An honest consideration of instinctual behavior, "Aguirre, Wrath of God," is a thought provoking study of the innate predisposition of man to go forth and conquer, regardless of-- or perhaps owing to-- his present situation, whatever or wherever it may be.
		Aguirre, the Wrath of God paints a searing indictment of those who would forsake everyone in their vicious quest for power, and serves as a deadly warning to those who would attempt to indulge their insane fantasies.

		Jean de Lery, a pastor from France, elaborated on Montaigne’s ideas, arguing that “[as] reprehensible as cannibalism is, it is hardly worse that European usurers who suck blood and marrow from so many widows and poor people, eating them alive when it would be kinder to cut their throats immediately.”
		History tells us that Aguirre, in his last days before being captured by the Spanish army, killed his daughter, because he did not want her to suffer torture and humiliation at the hands of his opponents, which he expected would be his fate.
		In considering Aguirre’s career, it is instructive to picture the contrast between his early days, when he wrote long letters to the King without any acknowledgement, and during the peak of his rebellion, when the monarch was forced to assemble the Royal Army to meet Aguirre’s challenge.
