Who were the leaders of Tabasco through the latter half of the 16th century? Who was Melchor the Mapmaker? How did Bishop DIego de Landa get onto this podcasts black list? What was Mayor Aguirre's most controversial act regarding the almojarifazgo and alcabal taxes? How many crimes was Corregidor Quijeda accused of? Why was Mayor Cordova so unlucky? Who was the One Armed Pirate from Virginia? And when will we ever get to talking about the pirates? Answers to all these and more as we close off the 16th century in Tabasco with a few visits from some aggressive businessmen of the High Seas.

Who were the men who attempted to conquer the Chontalpa region? Who ultimately got the credit for doing so? Why do so many places in Tabasco have Nahua names? What was a Cabildo, an Alcalde and an Alguacil? How did The Spanish Crown attempt to control the elites in Nueva Espana? Was Rodrigo Rangel the right man to send on campaign through the Chontalpa? And how did the Cimantecos fight off the Spanish for so long? All these questions and more as we go from Macro to Micro view on the pacification of Tabasco and dive into the naming of its many communities and settlements.
