His great services now seemed to be forgotten" the conqueror of Mexico was treated with a sort of indifference by the court of Spain, and could scarcely obtain an audience from his sovereign. It is said that, as he one day made his way through the crowd which surrounded the carriage of the emperor, Charles asked him who he was: "I am, " replied Cortez, " the man who gave more provinces to your majesty than you inherited towns from your ancestors. " In fine, baffled in all his hopes of recoverin...g his former dignities, he retired to a little town near Seville, where he died at the age of sixty-two years (A. D. 1547). The life of Cortez exhibits a variety of exploits so extraordinary, that, were it not for the testimony of the best historical documents, they would rather appear to exist only in the imagination. The burning of his fleet, after landing on unknown shores; his attack of a powerful empire with a handful of men; the capture of Monte- zuma in the midst of his own capital; the defeat of Narvaez; the victory of Otumba; the siege and conquest of Mexico, with all their circumstances, present a series of truly wonderful events events almost unparalleled in the annals of history.
