Interesting Facts about Francisco Pizarro
He was the second cousin once removed of Hernan Cortez, the conquistador who conquered the Aztecs in Mexico.
No one is quite sure exactly when Pizarro was born. It was likely between 1471 and 1476.
The famous explorer Hernando de Soto was part of Pizarro's group that conquered the Inca.
Francisco was accompanied by his brothers Gonzalo, Hernando, and Juan throughout his campaign to conquer the Inca.
When Pizarro captured the Inca Emperor his small force of less than 200 men managed to kill over 2,000 Inca and take 5,000 more as prisoners. He had the advantage of guns, cannons, horses, and iron weapons.
In 1538 Pizarro had a dispute with his long time expedition partner and fellow conquistador Diego Almagro. He had Almagro killed. However, on June 26, 1541 some of Almagro's supporters led by his son stormed Pizarro's home in Lima and assassinated him.
Interesting Facts about the Daily Life of an Inca Commoner
Many men carried a small bag around with them, almost like a purse. In this bag they kept coca leaves for chewing as well as good luck charms.
Starting at the age of 14, men of the nobility wore large gold earplugs. They would put in bigger and bigger plugs over time.
Many people had to pay their taxes through labor. They worked for the government as soldiers, builders, or farmers in order to pay their taxes.
The government had inspectors that would keep an eye on the commoners. They even checked to see if the people were keeping their house clean and tidy.
Most commoners were not allowed to travel within the empire. Only the rich and government officials were allowed to travel.
