ABSTRACT
The Adelantado and his captains were now resolved on the policy of releasing Hernando Pizarro. But Orgoñez did all he could to prevent it, declaring that he should not be let out of prison, for he would at once seek for revenge for the insults he received when they entered Cuzco and during his imprisonment. Almagro answered to this that it was necessary to keep the agreement between himself and the Governor Don Francisco Pizarro, and that Hernando Pizarro would have to take a solemn oath to keep the peace. Almagro then went to the prison accompanied by Diego and Gomez de Alvarado, Don Alonzo Enriquez, Juan de Sayavedra, Francisco de Chaves and some others. Then Noguerol de Ulloa, who had charge of the prisoner, brought him out to the Adelantado. They embraced and some conversation passed between them. Almagro said that all that had gone before should be forgotten, and that they should rejoice at having reached an agreement, and put an end to dissensions. Hernando Pizarro answered graciously, and took an oath, by God and St Mary, and by the gospels, to abide by the agreement, and gave his word of honour in due form. After he had given the necessary securities Almagro took him to his lodgings, where there was a very great feast, and all the captains spoke in a most friendly way, as did Francisco de Godoy and Hernan Ponce de Leon, who were present. When Hernando Pizarro was about to set out for his brother’s camp the Adelantado decided to send his son Diego with him, that Don Francisco Pizarro might know him. After some further conversation on the peace the Adelantado and Hernando Pizarro took leave of each other. Hernando was accompanied for half a league by all the principal persons in the camp, and thence he went on with young Diego, Diego and Gomez de Alvarado, Juan de Sayavedra, Francisco de Chaves, Pedro de los Rios, Cristóbal de Sotelo, Vasco de Guevara, Don Alonzo Enriquez, the alcalde Diego Nuñez de Mercado, and the secretary Sosa, and others.
