EDITORS COMMENTS
Bernal Diaz del Castillo (c.1496-1584): A Prominent Figure of the Spanish Conquest of America in the Fifteenth Century This evocative portrait captures the visage of Bernal Diaz del Castillo, a Spanish soldier and chronicler, who played a significant role in the conquest of the New World. Born in Medina del Campo, Spain, in the late fifteenth century, Diaz del Castillo embarked on his journey to the Americas as a young man, joining the expedition of Hernan Cortes in 1519. As a soldier, Diaz del Castillo participated in many of the most notable events of the conquest of the Aztec Empire, including the storming of Tenochtitlan and the capture of Moctezuma II. However, it was as a chronicler that Diaz del Castillo left an indelible mark on history. His account of the conquest, titled 'The True History of the Conquest of New Spain,' is one of the most important primary sources on the subject. Written in the modern age, Diaz del Castillo's work offers a unique perspective on the events of the sixteenth century, providing valuable insights into the motivations, actions, and personalities of the conquistadors and the indigenous peoples they encountered. This portrait, perhaps taken during his later years, captures the intensity and determination of a man who played a crucial role in shaping the course of history. Bernal Diaz del Castillo's legacy as a chronicler and soldier continues to captivate scholars and history enthusiasts alike, making this portrait a must-have for any collection focused on the history of the Americas and the age of discovery.
