ABSTRACT

Martin Perez, with the Maranones who had been left to guard the fortress and town, caused a feast to be made that day, when Aguirre departed, which was on a Sunday. They had his tables spread with great show and profusion, the transports blew joyous blasts, the generous wine ran freely, which made them talk merrily, and excuse themselves for what had been done. But this, as will be seen, cost the life of the maestro del campo.
