Conquistadors!

Today, in class I learned a little more about Francisco Pizarro.
Here are some bullet points that we included on our poster.

- He was born in Trujillo, Spain in 1478.
- His parents were never married so he was raised by his Grandparents.
- He was illiterate, so he could do no job that required any education.
- Because of this, he herded pigs for a living.
- He went on his first expedition in 1509 as a first mate to famous explorer, Balboa.
- They landed in panama.
- On his second expedition, he went to Peru where he came in contact with the Incas.
- He knew they had gold so he killed them all and destroyed any remains of the city.
- When he died, his body was just left where he died because the country-men had no respect for him, therefore, decided to not have a burial.
