‎The rare first edition of this history of the Spanish conquest of South America and the Caribbean Indies in which Castro’s, a relatively unknown conquistador, meeting with Monteczuma II and Fort Tucapel in Chile is vividly described. Only very few contemporary sources describe Don Henrique de Castro’s exploits. In 1617, in what is regarded as being the first novel to be set in Spanish America (Historia tragicomica de Don Henrique de Castro, 1617) a, mostly fictive, knightly romance between Don Henrique and Princess Elisauira set in Chile was published. Not in Barbier. ‎
