Hernan Cortes was born in Spain, in the city of Medellin in 1485. He was mostly famous for his march across Mexico and his conquering of the Aztec Empire in Mexico. He studied law but then he gave that up and started to seek for his fortune in the New World that was just being discovered by Columbus and others. His parents were Martin Cortes de Monroy and Catalina Pizarro Altamarino.
