ABSTRACT

While the Governor Don Francisco Pizarro, more on account of his desire to see his brother Hernando safe than from any wish to come to terms with the Adelantado Don Diego de Almagro, put on an appearance of cheerfulness when announcing that he was delighted that things had not come to a rupture with the Adelantado, whom he loved more than a brother, those who had come as representatives of Almagro did not show any satisfaction unless he made them a covenant of fealty to be held to firmly, and not to be broken at any time. The Governor said that he, as well as his captains, was willing to swear to this.
