Descripción del sitio
While Cortez was exploring and conquering the Aztecs, his past actions began to catch up with him. The governor of Cuba sent a force to find Cortez and arrest him. April 1520, Cortez was informed that the arresting party had landed in Mexico. Realizing that he would be found sooner or later, he gathered his forces and set out to meet the expedition. He left about 200 men in Tenochtitlan, and appointed Pedro de Alvarado to lead them in his absence. Cortez over powered the arresting party by entering their camp at night and capturing the leader. Most of the remaining party members willingly joined Cortez when they heard tales of gold mountains.
