- "For a moment there, I thought you'd stumbled onto the lost treasure of the Incas. You know, the one that Pizarro, in his arrogance, lost."
"Pizarro? Those Spaniards! Always losing their treasure. What I'd like to lay my hands on would be the Treasure of Cortés." - ―Jack Sparrow and Christophe-Julien de Rapièr
Francisco Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador and second cousin to Hernán Cortés. He traveled through much of the Pacific coast of America along Peru. He "discovered" the Incan empire and conquered it brutally and quickly, stealing immense hoards of gold, silver, and other treasures.
While speaking with Scarlett and Giselle following the loss of the Black Pearl to Hector Barbossa, Captain Jack Sparrow claimed to never have met Pizarro, but "loved his pies."
Biography
- "By the way, no, I've never actually met Pizarro but I love his pies."
- ―Jack Sparrow to Scarlett
Pizarro landed at San Mateo Bay in 1532. After traveling through desert and snow-capped mountains, Pizarro and his men (who included Hernando de Soto) arrived at Cajamarca (in 1533), where they captured Atahuallpa, the 13th and last emperor of the Incas. Atahuallpa had just won a civil war against his half-brother (Huáscar), and had executed Huáscar and his family. Atahuallpa had invited Pizarro to a celebratory feast, thinking that the Spanish were not much of a threat. Pizarro ambushed Atahuallpa and killed thousands of his men. Atahuallpa offered a huge ransom for his own release, but Pizarro took the treasure and had Atahuallpa strangled on Aug. 29, 1533; this was the end of the Incan empire.
After looting and generally destroying the Incan capital of Cusco, Pizarro founded Lima (which he called Ciudad de los Reyes, which means "City of the Kings"). Pizarro was assassinated in Lima, Peru, in 1541, by followers of Pedro de Almagro (Cortes' captain) who wanted to seize Lima for its riches.
Pizarro would be a matter of discussion at least two points of Jack Sparrow's life. First during a conversation with Christophe-Julien de Rapièr[1], the second while speaking with Scarlett and Giselle where he claimed to never have met Pizarro, but "loved his pies."[2]
