Bernal Díaz del Castillo (1492 to 1498, birth date is uncertain, – 1584)[1] was a Spanish conquistador, who participated as a foot soldier of fortune in the conquest of Mexico with Hernán Cortés. In his later years he was an encomendero and governor in Guatemala where he wrote his memoirs called "The True History of the Conquest of New Spain". He began his account of the conquest almost thirty years after the events and later revised and expanded it in response to the account published by Cortes's chaplain Francisco López de Gómara, which he considered to be largely inaccurate in that it did not give due recognition to the efforts and sacrifices of common soldiers.

No Me Parece Desacertado Que Me Detenga Á Manifestar El Motivo De Haber Escrito Esta Obrita, Si Tal Dictado Merece La Ligera Reseña De Las Antigüedades Del Castillo De La Aljaferia. Ya Indico En La Introduccion Que Habiéndose Anunciado La Venida De S. M. Doña Isabel 2.ª En El Verano De 1844 Subí Á La Sala De Santa Isabel En Compañía Del Excmo. Señor Capitan General, Quien Habló De Adornarla Si S. M. Se Dignaba Honrar El Castillo Con Su Presencia; Á Lo Que Yo Repuse Que Tambien Era De Necesidad Descifrar Los Letreros Y Espilcar Todas Sus Antigüedades. Debí Á S. E. La Atencion De Que Se Dirigiese Á Mí Para Desempeñar Este Encargo, Y Á Los Pocos Dias Presenté Á S. E. Una Relacion Succinta: Pero Al Mismo Tiempo, Por Si Todavía Lo Hubiese Para Perfeccionarla, Solicité Que Se Me Franqueasen En El Archivo De La Corona De Aragon En Barcelona Los Documentos Relativos Á Este Edificio, Y Así Se Le Otorgó Á S. E. Como Lo Manifiestan Las Comunicaciones Que Se Copian En La Nota 1.ª Del Apéndice, Debiendo Al Bondadoso É Ilustrado Archivero El Señor D. Próspero Bofarull La Remesa De Cuanto Creyó Debiera Convenirme. Entre Tanto Recordé Varios Hechos Históricos Y Registré Mis Apuntes, Formando Por Fin Con Copia De Mas Datos La Obrita Que Ahora Doy Á Luz. El Hallazgo Del Libro Manuscrito De Marcuello, Dió Lugar Á Que Se Pensase En Estampas: El Sr. General Breton Deseoso Del Esplendor De Una Obra Que Habia De Ponerse En Manos De La Reina, Aprobó La Idea, Y El Teniente Coronel De Ingenieros D. Pedro Ortiz De Pinedo, Á Virtud De Una Excitacion De S. E. Se Prestó Á Cuanto Le Exigí Para La Formacion De Algunos Dibujos[1]. Ya Iba Á Imprimirse Este Opúsculo, Cuando Se Suspendió Egecutarlo Con Motivo De Haber Creido S. E. Que No Llegaria Á Tiempo Para Entregarse Á S. M. Á Su Paso Por Esta Capital. [more]
