ABSTRACT

After the Judge Arbitrator Fray Francisco de Bobadilla had summoned the Governors to appear before him, finding that Pizarro refused to send hostages, he determined that a solemn oath should be taken that their captains on the one side would remain at Chincha, and on the other at Lima, for in this way the evils would be avoided which would arise if they encountered each other, or if the troops should set out and follow their Governors.
