Hernán Cortés was a Spanish explorer who is famous mainly for his march across Mexico and his conquering of the Aztec Empire in Mexico. Hernando Cortes was under the command of a man called Quintero.
The Spanish explorer/conquistador encountered the Aztec Indians in Mexico. They had an advanced civilization but lacked certain items such as the wheel, guns and horses. The Aztecs were impressed by Cortez, however, he made enemies out of them by his high handed actions. He kidnapped their leader as example.
