Very interesting, Sebastian.

Can you provide a brief biography? Most results of a google search are in Spanish - not a language I have much knowledge of.

 

Regards,

Hi Ian,

Bernardino Vázquez de Tapia (ca. 1490-1559) was a Spanish conquistador and veteran of the conquests of Central America, Cuba and of the Aztec Empire.  He gained great wealth after the conquest and later served as alcalde, or mayor, of Mexico City.  He is probably most famous for a manuscript he wrote in 1542 chronicling the conquest of Tenochtitlan.

 

Here is some more biographical info in English: http://alanlcadena.tumblr.com/post/96139037506/spanish-texas-history
