These men served with the conquistador Francisco de Montejo. The conquest of the Yucatan officially lasted from 1526 to 1546. The Conquistadors met bitter resistance from the Maya. While most of the Yucatan was conquered, the last of the Maya kingdoms, Tayasal (on a island in Lake Peten Itza) kept its independence until 1697. Montejo who was joined in the conquest by his son and nephew, asked Gonzalo Guerrero to join them. Gonzalo who had lived amongst the Maya since his shipwreck in 1511, refused and led a contingent of Maya troops to Honduras by canoe to aid the Indians there. After the encounter Pedro de Alvarado's troops found his body painted and dressed in full indian garb, on the field of war.
