Capitulation of Toledo

in #english-history6 years ago

The Capitulation of Toledo is the power that was given to Francisco Pizarro through a capitulation to be the governor of the conquered lands (Nueva Castilla).

In 1528 Francisco Pizarro began the trip to Spain to obtain the power over the lands conquered until that moment, but when he arrived he was imprisoned for debts obtained in the past.
