1. It was the beginning of the month of September of the same year, 1561, when the news arrived at the city and audience of Santa Fé. The oidores and licenciados Alonso de Grageda, Melchor Perez de Arteaga, Diego de Villafranca, and Angulo de Castejon were there. All the cities in the kingdom were in great commotion, on becoming acquainted with the cruelties committed by Aguirre, as well as by the great number of armed followers he had with him; so the oidores, without leaving anything undone to put a stop to these terrible excesses (for all this tierra firme was suffering on account of the rebellions that had happened in various parts of Pirú), sent to all the cities and towns of the audiencia of the new kingdom, commanding that men and arms should be in readiness, appointing as captain-general (in case it should be found necessary for him to go against the traitor) the Mariscal Don Gonzalo Ximenez de Quesada (who then only had this title and was regidor of the city, until the following year of 1568, when he received the title of adelantado of the new kingdom), a successful and valorous personage, and one whom the whole country respected for these qualities, and because he had discovered and conquered the country. Captain Hernan Vanegas was chosen as maestro del campo, a settler of the city of Santa Fé.
