The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo, Vol 2 (of 2)

Note 57 — Chapter CCIV

John Ingram Lockhart translation

Our author omits to mention anything about the third daughter. In these passages we cannot sufficiently admire the excellent feeling of the old soldier, which was charitable to a degree; for though he had great reason to complain of the neglect he suffered from his hero Cortes, yet, after his death, he tries to raise him in your estimation, and he lets him die an honest man. (p. 365.)

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
