 Francisco Pizarro   

 

     Francisco Pizarro was born in 1475 in Trujillo, Caceres, Spain. Even though his dad fathered many kids but he himself did not have any. His parents abandoned him and he went to live with his grandparents on a farm. Sadly, Pizarro never learned to write or read. But he still believed he could find something and that something was exploring new lands. His first expedition was a complete disaster because they ran out of food and many men died. After that, he paired up with Diego de Almagro and Hernado de Luque to look for the rumored riches in Peru. He departed on November 14, 1524 in search for these riches. This expedition was not much of a success. On their way, they were attacked by Indians and faced opposite wind directions so the winds were blowing them back. They headed to the shore of Panama where Pizarro did receive some sort of gold ornament which made him eager to go on further.  He and Almagro set off again in March 1526. By the stone buildings and the well planned fields, he could tell they were near their goal. Again, the Indians were hostile so they had to sail to a nearby island and Almagro set back for more troops and supplies. The new governor denied Almagro's request and ordered him to bring back Pizarro. Pizarro refused to go back and drew a line in the sand and said, "There lies Peru with its gold and riches," pointing to the farther side of the line, "and here, Panama and its poverty and less fortune. Each man chooses what becomes a brave soldier. For my part I go to the south with the riches and wealth." Thirteen men stepped over to Pizarros side and went off while the rest sailed back to Panama. Eventually, a ship came back for them. Pizarro is most famous for being a Spanish conquistador and conquering the Incan empire. Pizarro died June 26, 1541, in Lima, Peru drawing a cross in his own blood as he was assassinated. Pizarro was assassinated as revenge from the Incan tribe leader.
