Note XIII‑35 — Chapter XIII · THE CONQUEST OF CHIAPAS. 1520-1529.

Mazariegos was cousin to Alonso de Estrada, then governor of Mexico. Remesal gives the names of more than 80 officers and soldiers who accompanied the expedition. Noticeable among them is that of Juan Enriquez de Guzman, who appears to have returned to Mexico after the outbreak. In the same list appear the names of two priests, Pedro de Castellanos and Pedro Gonzalez. Hist. Chyapa, 265. From Bernal Diaz we learn that Mazariegos was instructed to take Guzman's residencia. Hist. Verdad., 222. It was the performance of this duty, perhaps, which, at a later date, made Guzman so bitter an enemy of Mazariegos.
