Francisco Pizarro His Early History First Expedition To The South Distresses Of The Voyagers Sharp Encounters Return To Panama Almagro's Expedition Francisco Pizarro was born at Truxillo, a city of Estremadura, in Spain.
Almagro's plan was then adopted; and it only remained to find out the most secure and convenient spot for Pizarro's quarters. Several days were passed in touching at different parts of the coast, as they retraced their course; but everywhere the natives appeared to have caught the alarm, and assumed a menacing, and from their numbers a formidable, aspect.
De Castro found himself in opposition to the younger Almagro, and a battle was fought. Almagro's forces were defeated, and he himself, although he escaped for a while to Cuzco, was captured and executed. In 1543 Blasco Nuñez Vela, the first Viceroy appointed by Spain, arrived in Peru, where he found de Castro in charge of the Government.
He no longer hesitated, but, calling on his men to follow, led off boldly into the thickest of the melee to the support of his stout-hearted officer. The arrival of a new corps on the field, all fresh for action, gave another turn to the tide.28 Alvarado's men took heart and rallied. Almagro's, though driven back by the fury of the assault, quickly returned against their assailants.
