(Aniversario de la Caída de Tenochtitlan) Hace más de cinco siglos, el conquistador español Hernán Cortés «mandó hacer un banquete... en señal de alegrías de... haber ganado» en la toma de Tenochtitlan, la antigua capital del Imperio Azteca ubicada en la actual Ciudad de México. «Y para hacer la fiesta mandó convidar a todos los capitanes y soldados que le pareció que era bien tener [en] cuenta.... [Después] que habían alzado las mesas, salieron a danzar las damas que había, con los galanes cargados con sus armas, que era para reír...» Así describe en parte Bernal Díaz del Castillo, en su Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España, aquella cena celebratoria que se dio el 13 de agosto de 1521. A continuación el acreditado cronista español nombra a las mujeres selectas invitadas, entre ellas María de Estrada, Beatriz Bermúdez de Velasco e Isabel Rodríguez.1 Aunque Isabel, al igual que María y Beatriz, sin duda tuvo que tomar las armas y combatir en las batallas en las que participó, particularmente durante el Sitio de Tenochtitlan, lo que la distinguió a ella fue el rol de médica que desempeñó. En 1520, Isabel y su esposo Miguel Rodríguez de Guadalupe se unieron a la expedición de Hernán Cortés y, después de las bajas sufridas durante la Noche Triste y de la victoria obtenida en la Batalla de Otumba, ella comenzó a coordinar y a entrenar a voluntarias entre las mujeres, tanto españolas como indígenas aliadas, con las que creó un cuerpo de enfermería para acompañar de continuo a los combatientes. Según el catedrático castellano Francisco Cervantes de Salazar en su Crónica de la Nueva España, «como eran tan continuas las refriegas, salían de la una parte y de la otra muchos heridos, de tal manera que no había día que, especialmente de los indios amigos, no saliesen cientos heridos, a los cuales una mujer española, que se decía Isabel Rodríguez, lo mejor que ella podía les ataba las heridas y se las santiguaba “en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios verdadero, el cual te cure y sane”, y esto no lo hacía más de dos veces, y muchas veces no más de una, y acontecía que aunque tuviesen pasados los muslos, iban sanos otro día a pelear... pues por mano de aquella mujer [Dios] daba salud y esfuerzo a tantos heridos...»2 ¡Con razón que doña Isabel tenía tanto éxito en la sanidad de sus pacientes! No pretendía que era la mano de ella la que sanaba sino la mano de Dios, a quien ella invocaba y atribuía toda cura y sanidad. Aquella médica abnegada sin duda recordaba cada vez lo mismo que recordaba el apóstol Pedro al referirse a la profecía de Isaías unos 700 años antes de la muerte de Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios, en la cruz del Calvario: que Cristo fue herido por nuestras rebeliones y maldades, que hizo suyos nuestros pecados al sufrir y morir en nuestro lugar, y que sufrió esas heridas para que nosotros pudiéramos ser sanados. Sólo hace falta que clamemos a Él pidiéndole que perdone nuestros pecados y nos sane por completo, tanto física como espiritualmente.3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Bernal Díaz del Castillo, Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España, 1632, Manuscrito Remón, Crónicas de América-2 (Editor Digital: Himali, Conversión a pdf: 2018), pp. 849-50 En línea 23 febrero 2025. 2 Francisco Cervantes de Salazar, Crónicas de la Nueva España, Libro quinto, Cap.

(Víspera del Aniversario de la Caída de Tenochtitlan) En el año 2012, el Museo Naval en Madrid, España, montó una exposición sobre las «Mujeres en la conquista y colonización de América». Según su propia presentación, la emprendió a fin de abordar «por primera vez la presencia y participación activa de la mujer en la conformación del Nuevo Mundo, un tema poco estudiado y mucho menos conocido. La mujer ocupó puestos destacados en la conquista de América.... Treinta mujeres acompañaron a Colón en su tercer viaje [y] más de 300 llegaron a Santo Domingo en el primer cuarto del siglo XVI.... »La mujer española del siglo XVI vivía supeditada a la tutela del varón y desprovista de toda relevancia intelectual. Su lugar era el hogar, donde ejercía de buena esposa y madre cristiana. Pero las españolas que emigraron a América escaparon a este rol femenino sobreponiéndose a un destino marcado. Arrancaron sus raíces para replantarlas en un mundo desconocido.»1   Una de esas mujeres era Beatriz Bermúdez de Velasco, conocida también como La Bermuda. Junto con su esposo, Francisco de Olmos, se unió al conquistador español Hernán Cortés después de llegar a México con la expedición de Pánfilo de Narváez en 1520. El catedrático castellano Francisco Cervantes de Salazar, en su Crónica de la Nueva España, describe textualmente cómo fue que La Bermuda ganó su reputación durante el asedio de Tenochtitlan: «Beatriz Bermúdez, que acababa de llegar de otro real, viendo así españoles como indios amigos todos revueltos, que venían huyendo, saliendo a ellos en medio de la calzada con una rodela de indios y una espada española y una celada en la cabeza... les dijo: “¡Vergüenza [de] españoles...! ¿Qué es esto que vengáis huyendo de una gente tan vil, a quien tantas veces habéis vencido? Volved... a ayudar y socorrer a vuestros compañeros que quedan peleando, haciendo lo que deben; y si no, por Dios os prometo de no dejar pasar [vivo a ninguno] de vosotros; que los que de tan ruin gente vienen huyendo merecen que mueran a manos de una flaca mujer como yo.” »Fue tal la vergüenza que sintieron los soldados españoles y el efecto de las palabras de Beatriz, que volvieron, hacia los enemigos, ya victoriosos, dando lugar a la batalla más sangrienta y reñida que jamás hasta entonces se había visto.... Finalmente, los españoles vencieron, poniendo en huida a los enemigos, siguiendo el alcance hasta donde los compañeros estaban peleando, a los cuales ayudaron de tal manera que todos salieron aquel día vencedores... de donde se entenderá lo mucho que una mujer tan valerosa como esta hizo y puede hacer con hombres que tienen más cuenta con la honra que con la vida, cuales entre todas las naciones suelen ser los españoles», concluye el cronista castellano.2 ¿Será posible que, en el fragor de aquella batalla, La Bermuda tuviera fresca en la memoria el relato bíblico en que el muchacho David hubiera querido así mismo arengar a los soldados israelitas amedrentados por el gigante Goliat?3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Museo Naval.

(Antevíspera del Aniversario de la Caída de Tenochtitlan) «Para quienes consideren que los hechos de armas son y han sido tarea exclusiva de hombres... el caso de la andaluza (o quizás cántabra) María [de] Estrada reviste especial interés.» Así comienza Manuel Lucena Giraldo, reconocido historiador español especialista en la Historia de América, un artículo publicado en el Diario ABC sobre aquella mujer aguerrida.1 El conquistador Francisco de Estrada, hermano de María, había acompañado a Cristóbal Colón como grumete, de modo que es probable que en 1509, cuando Francisco regresó al Nuevo Mundo para instalarse de forma permanente, María haya viajado con él.2 Como por entonces ella tenía ya entre treinta y cuarenta años, sus compañeros le habrían de poner el sobrenombre de «La vieja». Después de llegar a Cuba y de casarse con Pedro Sánchez Farfán, María participó en combates en la actual Matanzas y, según el doctor Lucena Giraldo, «hasta es posible que su hermosura la salvara de morir, pues un cacique la tomó para sí... hasta que los españoles se recuperaron de la derrota y volvió con su marido a Trinidad, al sur de la isla.» De Cuba a Veracruz, y de ahí a la sangrienta batalla de Otumba y al asalto final de Tenochtitlan, hay varios testigos oculares que constatan el papel que jugó María de Estrada en la conquista de México, mostrando desde el principio una capacidad guerrera que incluía hasta la invocación del apóstol Santiago en los asaltos. Por ejemplo, el cronista español-tlaxcalteca Diego Muñoz Camargo describe a María «con una espada y una rodela en las manos, peleando valerosamente con tanta furia y ánimo que excedía al esfuerzo de cualquier varón, por esforzado y animoso que fuera, que a los propios nuestros ponía espanto». Así mismo, el catedrático castellano Francisco Cervantes de Salazar recuerda que, después de la mortífera «Noche Triste» en la que murieron cientos de españoles e indígenas aliados, cuando el conquistador español Hernán Cortés ordenó que las mujeres que formaban parte de sus tropas se quedaran a descansar en la ciudad de Tlaxcala, María le reclamó: «No es bien, señor capitán, que mujeres dejen a sus maridos yendo a la guerra. Donde ellos murieren, moriremos nosotras, y es razón que los indios entiendan que somos tan valientes los españoles que hasta las mujeres saben pelear.»3 En lugar de sorprendernos, lo justo es que reconozcamos que, con ese arrojo, María de Estrada estaba siguiendo cabalmente el ejemplo de dos mujeres protagonistas del libro de los Jueces en la Biblia: la jueza Débora, que en calidad de comandante militar ordenó a su comandante Barac que atacara las tropas del general cananeo Sísara y lo acompañó porque él insistió que no iría sin ella; y Jael, la valerosa mujer que engañó a Sísara luego de vencido todo su ejército, y lo mató atravesándole la sien con una estaca, llevándose así la gloria de la victoria tal y como Débora había predicho que sucedería.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Manuel Lucena Giraldo, «María Estrada conquista México», Diario ABC, 4 agosto 2009 En línea 19 febrero 2025. 2 Wikipedia, s.v. «María de Estrada» En línea 19 febrero 2025. 3 Lucena Giraldo; Francisco Cervantes de Salazar, Cronica de la Nueva España, Libro quinto, Cap.

This is the kickoff episode of the Montezuma Campaign in Age of Empires II. I played all six missions of the campaign and delved deep into historical research, and I would like to share the results with you in this short campaign series. The Aztec campaign was released with the release of The Conqueror add-on in 2000 and tells the story of the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan and the fall of the Aztec Empire during the reign of Montezuma II in the beginning of the 16th century. This first mission has no real historical background but offers insights in how the Addon had been promoted before it was released. There's a lot to uncover and I hope you'll enjoy this series!

La CDMX está definida por el agua: lluvias, inundaciones, drenajes y cárcamos son parte de su histotia. Si bien la lluvia es necesaria, no siempre ha sido benéfica para esta metrópoli, pues ha padecido de memorables inundaciones, de las cuales Sergio habla en esta emisión. La cuenca del Valle de México está rodeada por cuerpos y cadenas montañosas. Estacircunstancia propició que, desde tiempos prehispánicos, los grupos de pobladores se asentaran en los islotes del lago de Texcoco, que formaba parte de un conjunto mayor con los de Zumpango, Xaltocan, Ecatepec, Texcoco, Chalco y Xochimilco. La vida de los habitantes de Tenochtitlan, en consecuencia, estaba marcada por completo por estos cuerpos de agua,así como los ríos y canales de la ciudad. La ciudad tiene memoria y el Cocodrilo viajero hace un recuento de las anegaciones más importantes a lo largo del tiempo.

Five centuries ago, before Spanish conquistadors arrived, what's now Mexico City was the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan—and it took the European invaders' breath away. It was built on an island threaded with canals; it was one of the largest cities in the world; and the Spanish could hardly believe the sheer volume of food sold in the city's main market, let alone the quantity and variety of dishes enjoyed by the Aztec leader, Montezuma. But how did a city built in a lake—and located in a part of the world without cows, sheep, pigs, or chicken—grow enough to feed quarter of a million people? What does it mean to eat like an Aztec, and can you still do it today? This episode, we're time traveling (and real traveling) to find out! Join us on a trip to taste the flavors of Tenochtitlan, and explore the endangered “floating islands” that fed the city—with a menu that included insect eggs, blue-green algae, and some adorable salamanders that just might hold the secret of eternal youth.

The Hidden History of Texas Looking for Gold and Glory – Before I get too far into it today, how about subscribing to the podcast. Tell your friends that you've found the coolest place on the net to learn about Texas history. Well maybe not the coolest, but a pretty cool place, thanks I'd appreciate it. As I've discussed in the past, the Spanish presence in the Americas was pretty much an accident. Until Columbus bumped into the islands of Guanahani (Watling Island in the Bahamas) which Columbus named "San Salvador", Cuba, and Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic). They had no idea anything or anyone was between them and Asia, remember they were looking for a shortcut route to India. Even then it wasn't until 1519 when Alonso Álvarez de Pineda mapped the Gulf Coast for the first time that they began to realize they had stumbled upon something far different than what they originally thought. So, what intrigued the Spanish so much about this new continent they encountered? I've talked about how in 1528 Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, explored the Gulf Coast and his exploration fell apart. He got shipwrecked and he and some of his crew wandered across present-day Texas and northern Mexico. During their journeys and capture they heard stories from the people about cities or places that were “wealthy”. Now we don't know exactly what the indigenous people meant by wealth or how they described the various locations, but de Vaca's later telling of those encounters sparked an interest in what the Spanish called or were labeled the "Seven Cities of Gold" or “the Seven Cities of Cibola” But why? Why would these stories matter to the Spanish? In the early 8th century Muslims had conquered what is now Spain and Portugal. The story goes that in 714 seven Catholic bishops and their faithful followers fled across the Atlantic to a land known as Antilia, the name of which, incidentally, was the source of the name Antilles, which was initially applied to the West Indian islands of the Caribbean. The story was that when they fled, they took with them vast amounts of wealth, especially in gold and silver and each of the bishops had established a city. The story, or fable, was that those 7 cities were to be found in this ‘new' country. However, the Antillean islands failed to produce large quantities of gold and silver, but by 1539 the lands that Cabeza de Vaca and his companions reported on were thought to contain an El Dorado (or The Gold) known as Cíbola. In that year, Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza dispatched Fray Marcos de Niza and the African Estevanico to search the area. This exploration cost the life of Estevanico at Háwikuh, the southernmost of the Zuñi pueblos in western New Mexico. On his return to New Spain (today's Mexico), Fray Marcos reported that he had seen golden cities, the smallest of which was larger than Mexico City. Today we know that the good frier exaggerated what he saw, why I have no idea, but he definitely didn't see any golden cities and certainly not one larger than Mexico City would have been at that time. In 1539, Mexico City, then known as Tenochtitlan, was a large and populous city. Estimates for its population ranged from 200,000 to 400,000, so as I said, the good frier was a, as we say, a teller of tall tales. However, in 1540 a follow-up expedition of Francisco Vázquez de Coronado captured Háwikuh and learned the true nature of it as well as other nearby pueblos. In the following year, disappointed over the failure to find the Seven Cities of Cíbola Coronado launched a futile search for Quivira-(another legendary wealthy city) an undertaking that crossed the Panhandle. His toute took him from Arizona to New Mexico into Texas up to Oklahoma, and finally Kansas. It was there that he did find Quivira, it was situated in what is now central Kansas, now nobody is really certain of its exact location, and most think it was near present-day Lyons or Salina. What did he find?

How did they overthrow such a powerful kingdom in just three months?Professor Suzannah Lipscomb explores the indigenous perspectives of the conquest, the role of Cortés, and the resilience of Aztec culture. Together with Professor Camilla Townsend, Suzannah debunks myths about the Aztecs and discovers their rich societal structures, religious practices, and the impacts of European colonisation. They discuss how technological differences played a crucial role in the conquest and how Aztec culture adapted under Spanish rule, preserving their history against odds.More on the Americas:How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe >Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

This is all eight chapters of my Aztec Memories series, all in one place. I'm hoping this makes it easier for some folks out there to listen to the whole series, and it will allow me to release a video version of this podcast--coming very soon! Thanks for listening and for all the support over the years... The story of the Aztec Empire is a story unlike any other. From it's origins as a nomadic underdog, to it's ascendance at the rich and powerful city of Tenochtitlan, to it's clash of civilizations with the mighty Spanish Empire, this is a historical story that will never happen again. If you think you know the full story, think again. For hundreds of years myths and half-truths about the Spanish conquest have clouded the historical narrative. Even the name "Aztec" belies the deep connection between myth and history. Five hundred years later, it's time to delve into Aztec Memories. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

La enfermedad que transportaban sus hombres sin saberlo remataría el trabajo, acabando con la gente que quedaba del imperio de México.

In November of 1519, Aztec Emperor Moctezuma and Spanish Conquistador Hernando Cortez met on the causeway leading to Tenochtitlan in maybe the first official contact between powerful leaders of the Old and New Worlds. One of the great what if moments in world history, this was the opening act in what would eventually lead to a clash of civilizations between the two peoples. The war that followed was violent and brutal, and the stakes were everything. This is Part V in a series on the rise, fall, and enduring legacy of the Aztec Empire. It covers the war between the Aztec and the Spanish, the initial meeting on the causeway, tactics and strategy for each side, La Noche Triste or The Night of Sorrows, various massacres, and the end of the war. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

The Aztec Empire at its height in the 1400's was a flourishing civilization that had a rich social and cultural tradition. In addition to the political realities of statebuilding-war, tribute, human sacrifice, and slavery, the Mexica people took care of their families, tended to gardens, ate rich foods, listened to music, participated in religious ceremonies, bought and sold goods in markets, and took part in long distance trade. Life in Tenochtitlan at the height of empire was a sight to behold, but something was coming over the horizon that would alter that vision of empire forever... This is Part III in a series on the rise, fall, and enduring legacy of the Aztec Empire. It discusses social and cultural life in Tenochtitlan, everyday life for different classes of people, and the political realities of day to day life.

From their new base in Tenochtitlan, the Mexica people slowly built the Aztec Empire over the course of the 1300's. While the "myth of the Aztec" ascribes this accomplishment to the barbarism of human sacrifice and brutality, the Mexica both lived in a particular context and shaped their own unique political environment. Demystifying what the Spanish referred to as superstition and barbarism, this episode looks at the Aztec political system, and how the complex interplay of many different factors allowed the Aztec to dominate the Valley of Mexico.  This is Part II in a series on the rise, fall, and enduring legacy of the Aztec Empire. It discusses the political realities of the Aztec Empire, including polygny, marriage alliances, slavery, tribute systems, warfare, brutality and atrocities, and slavery. This episode also discusses the Mexica relationship with Tlaxcala, a rival city state, and the ritualized and brutal "Flower Wars" fought every year between them.  -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!
