Summary "Verdadera historia de los sucesos de la conquista de la Nueva-España" by Bernal Díaz del Castillo is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work recounts the experiences of Díaz, who was one of the conquistadors led by Hernán Cortés during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. It provides a firsthand narrative of the events, conflicts, and figures involved in the conquest, offering insights into both the struggles against indigenous peoples and the internal disputes among Spanish conquerors. At the start of the account, the author details the formalities of documenting and publishing previous chapters, emphasizing the need for accuracy in transcription and correction of prior errors. The narrative quickly shifts focus to the political intrigue surrounding Cortés and mounting complaints against him from rival conquistadors, particularly from Pánfilo de Narvaez and Diego Velázquez. Various grievances are laid out, questioning Cortés's actions, authority, and governance over the newly acquired territories, leading to a royal inquiry into his conduct. The opening sets the tone for an exploration of the complexities and tensions of the Spanish conquest, showcasing Díaz's intentions to defend the honor and integrity of those who served with Cortés.
