Summary: This story of Cortez involves not only the confrontation of two colorful cultures (with a representative of Europe's grandest monarch meeting the mighty Montezuma) but also the violent death of a great empire. Only recently has the work of archaeologists and scholars in Mexico been combined with traditional Spanish and Indian sources to give a detailed picture of those blood-thirsty native conquerors who, in turn, were conquered by Cortes.
