“I, Bernal Diaz del Castillo, citizen and Regidor of the most loyal city of Santiago de Guatemala, one of the first discoverers and conquerors of New Spain and its provinces, and the Cape of Honduras and all that lies within that land a Native of the very noble and distinguished town of Medina del Campo, and the son of its former Regidor, Francisco Diaz del Castillo, who was also called "The graceful" (may his soul rest in glory),speak about that which concerns myself and all the true con my companions who served His Majesty by discover, conquering, pacifying, and settling most of the provinces of New Spain, and that it is one of the best countries yet dis in the New World, we found out by our own efforts without His Majesty knowing anything about it.”
Bernal Díaz del Castillo (Medina del Campo, 1496-Santiago de Guatemala, 1584) fue un conquistador español que participó en la conquista de México y fue más tarde regidor de Santiago de Guatemala. Se le atribuye la autoría de la *Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España*, la cual comenzó a redactar como un memorial de guerras; pero más tarde fue revisada y expandida en respuesta a la publicación de Francisco López de Gómara, que Díaz del Castillo consideraba muy imprecisa, además de que no reconocía los esfuerzos que llevaron los soldados comunes durante la conquista de México. **Fuente**: [Bernal Díaz del Castillo](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernal_D%C3%ADaz_del_Castillo) on
