Note 394 — Chapter XIV · SUBJUGATION OF CHOLULA. October, 1519.
Reading edition
‘Tomaron los Castellanos el oro, y pluma, aũque se halló poco.’ Herrera, dec. ii. lib. vii. cap. ii. ‘Ovo mucho despojo de oro é plata,’ says Oviedo, iii. 499, probably because he knew Cholula to be rich; but a great deal of private treasure at least must have been taken out of the city when the women were sent away. The Tlascaltecs carried off 20,000 captives, he adds.
