Everything about Pedro Alm Ndez Chirino totally explained
Pedro Almíndez Chirino (or
Pedro Almíndez Chirinos) was a
conquistador and member of several councils that governed
New Spain while
Hernán Cortés was traveling to
Honduras, in 1525-26. Almíndez was an ally of
Gonzalo de Salazar; the events of this period are recounted in that article.
In 1530 he was sent by
Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán to the current Mexican states of
Jalisco,
Aguascalientes,
Zacatecas and
Sinaloa to explore the region, search for gold and silver, and subdue the Indians. He passed through the current town of
Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco in March 1530 with a force of 50 Spanish soldiers and 500
Tarascan and
Tlaxcaltec allies. This encounter was peaceful, but he was accused of a massacre in
Morocito (Sinaloa) in 1531, and in many places of destroying and burning everything he passed. "Mocorito" in the Cahita language signifies the place of the dead. The indigenous people named it for the Indians that Pedro Almindez Chirino killed.
