ABSTRACT
Tlaxcala being worth all the rest of the towns and villages between St John de Ulhua and Mexico, I thought it not fit to parallel it with the others in naming it briefly and passing by it as a traveller, but rather I judged it convenient, and beseeming my present history, to record to posterity with one whole chapter the greatness of it, and the valour of its inhabitants, from the conquest of America made by Hernando Cortez.
