Note 175 — Chapter III
Reading edition
“In this combat Maria de Estrada, oblivious of her sex, showed herself most valorous, and armed with sword and shield did marvellous deeds, rushing into the midst of the enemy with a courage and spirit equal to that of the bravest of men.... This lady became the wife of Pedro Sanchez Farfan, and the village of Tetela was granted to them en encomienda.” Torquemada, Monarch. Ind., lib. 4, cap. 72.
