just follow timeline of his

1485: Hernando Cortes was born in 1485 in Medellin, Extremadura, Spain

His parents were Martin Cortes de Monroy and Catalina Pizarro Altamirano

1499: Hernando Cortes was attended the University of Salamanca

1501: Failed at Law and left University

1502: Cortes heard the stories about the New World and joined the expedition to the West Indies led by Nicolas de Ovando with Diego Velazquez

Hernando Cortes was under the command of a man called Quintero

1502: The Ovando voyage consisted of 2500 settlers and 30 ships

The Ovando expedition reached Hispaniola and the young Hernando Cortez proved popular with his mentor Quintero and Nicholas de Ovando

Cortes proved to be an excellent soldier under the command of Spanish soldier named Diego Velazquez (1460-1532)

1511: Diego Columbus, the new governor of Hispaniola, resolved to conquer the island of Cuba and selected Diego Velazquez as commander of the expedition

1511: The expedition to Cuba consisted of four vessels with 300 men. Hernando Cortes was chosen to accompany Velazquez on the expedition

Cuba was quickly subjugated by the Spanish expedition force

1513: The town of Bayamo on Cuba was established

1514: The towns of Trinidad, Santo Espiritu, Puerto Principe, and Santiago de Cuba were founded

1514: Hernando Cortes settles on the island of Cuba and becomes a rancher

1518 May 1: A fleet under Juan de Grijalva left Santiago de Cuba explores the coast of Mexico and sends back favorable reports to Velazquez

1518: Velazquez decides to explore further and chooses Hernando Cortes to captain an expedition to establish a colony in Mexico

1519: February 19, 1519, with a force of 600 men, and less than 20 horses Cortez sets sail for Mexico.

1519: Hernando Cortes and his soldiers sailed to the Yucatan Penisula and march inland to Tenochtitlan

1519 March: Cortes lands in Mexico, and suppresses the town of Tabasco. He meets a woman called Malinche who becames his mistress, guide and interpreter

Cortes establishes the town of La Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz. To prevent any possibility of desertion and retreat he literally burns all of his boats

Cortes learns about the fabulous riches of the Aztec Empire and marches his troops inland to discover the land of the Aztecs

Cortes forces an alliance with the Aztec Indians of Tlaxcala and learns about their customs, culture and religion

Cortes learns of Quetzalcoatl the 'Winged God - Feather Serpent'. This Aztec legend was about a light skinned, bearded God-King of Civilisation and learning who was revered by the Aztecs as Christians revered Jesus Christ

The arrival of Cortes and his Spanish soldiers coincided perfectly with the predicted return of the God-King Quetzalcoatl

Cortes heads further inland and reaches the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. The Aztecs believe that Cortes could be Quetzalcoatl their light skinned, bearded God-King

November 1519: Montezuma II, the Aztec king does not stop Cortes and his force from entering Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital which houses thousands of Aztecs

Cortes meets no resistance and establishes a headquarters inside Tenochtitlan

To maintain his position he takes Montezuma as hostage and forces him to swear allegiance to King Charles V of Spain

Meanwhile Velasquez had sent 1,400 soldiers to arrest Cortes. Hernando Cortes decides to march to the coast to do battle with the soldiers but instead he persuades them to join him

1520: Cortes is attacked by thousands of Aztec warriors on his return to Tenochtitlan. The Aztec attack was prompted by the slaughter of 600 Aztec nobles whilst Cortes was away

Cortes tries to calm the Aztecs by releasing Montezuma but the Aztecs stone him to death

1520: Hernando Cortes and his soldiers are forced out of Tenochtitlan

1521: Hernando Cortes returns to Tenochtitlan with reinforcements

1521 August 13 Plague strikes the Aztec population and Tenochtitlan falls to Cortes

Hernando Cortes conquered 5 Million Aztecs with less than 1000 soldiers

1528: Cortes returns to Spain and was given the title "Marques del Valle de Oaxaca."

1530: Hernando Cortes returned to the New World and settles in Cuernavaca, Mexico

1533: Hernando Cortes makes his final expedition and discovers Baja in California

1534: Hernando Cortes explored California for a year before returning to Mexico

1540: Hernando Cortes returns home to Spain for the last time

1541: Spain fears the power that Hernando Cortes has in the New World - Cortes is denied any government post in Mexico and his reputation is smeared by rumours that he murdered his wife, Catalina Xuarez but he is given permission to fight against the Moors and the Pirates of Algiers

1547: Cortez died on December 2, 1547 near Seville

Answer 2

Hmmm. Are you possibly supposed to do something like, oh, I don't know, RESEARCH, the subject??? :-)

Why can't you find what you are looking for by typing "Hernando Cortes" on Yahoo or Google or another search engine?

When you ask Answers, you take the risk having people who don't know what they are talking about make you look bad. I'm not saying Answers isn't a useful resource, but it's not the way to finish this particular assignment.

Good luck on your RESEARCH!
