This portion of an account of Cortez’s conquest of the Aztec Empire by one of his soldiers covers events from the arrival of the expedition in the Tlaxcalan city of Cholula to the extraction of tribute and defiant building of a Christian altar in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan (Mexico) where the emperor Montezuma was held captive. It includes observations on the cultures of the rival Nahua groups.
