ABSTRACT
Hernando Pizarro was glad to think that before long he could attack the men of Chile. In order that he might be justified, and that those in the Governor’s camp might believe that he wanted to go to Spain with the royal fifths, it is said that he arranged that he should be ordered to remain, and so the Governor got a notary to draw up an order that Hernando Pizarro was by no means to go to Spain, that a fleet must come to carry the gold securely, and while he was requesting His Majesty to send the fleet as a protection against corsairs, Hernando would have time to do service in this realm; besides, there was no vessel in the port of Lima in which he could go.
