Note XXVI-43 — Chapter XXVI · EXPEDITION TO SALVADOR. 1524.

Alvarado, Relacion, i. 164-5; Ramirez, Proceso contra Alvarado, 58-9 et seq. Brasseur de Bourbourg, regardless of all Spanish evidence, boldly assumes that the king 'ainsi que tous les seigneurs de sa cour' were in fact put to death, Hist. Nat. Civ., iv. 666-7, when in reality they were fugitives in the mountains and merely condemned. It is absurd to suppose that in the Cuzcatlan charge, No. xxvi., referred to above, Alvarado's accusers would have failed to bring against him the deaths of the king and chiefs.
