Description

In which the beginning of the government of Benençuela is written, and who were the first Spaniards who began it.

I have not found the clarity that I wanted about the discovery and first settlement of the government of Benençuela and it was fair so that the relationship and news that I wrote about this government would be complete and more accurate to the taste of the readers, because I understand that our successors and historians who will succeed us in the coming centuries will not cease to be disgusting with this defect. But they may believe that it is not my fault, because I have certainly put the diligence to my best to find out very well, and I have only found that in the year one thousand four hundred and ninety-eight, on the third trip that Don Cristoval Columbus made the Indies, when heading through the mouths of the Drago, which are made between the island of Trinidad and Tierra Firme, he came to Cumana and Cubagua Island, where he found the pearl fisheries, and skirting all that coast Towards the West he discovered as far as Cabo de la Vela, where there was also a pearl fishery; In this navigation and discovery he entered the entire coast of Venençuela, which is from the port and province of Caracas to the Maracaybo lagoon.

CHAPTER I
In which the beginning of the government of Benençuela is written, and who were the first Spaniards who began it.
I have not found the clarity that I wanted about the discovery and first settlement of the government of Benençuela and it was fair so that the relationship and news that I wrote about this government would be complete and more accurate. to the taste of the readers, because I understand that our successors and historians who will succeed us in the coming centuries will not cease to be disgusting with this defect. But they may believe that it is not my fault, because I have certainly put the diligence to my best to find out very well, and I have only found that in the year one thousand four hundred and ninety-eight, on the third trip that Don Cristoval Columbus made the Indies, when heading through the mouths of the Drago, which are made between the island of Trinidad and Tierra Firme, he came to Cumana and Cubagua Island, where he found the pearl fisheries, and skirting all that coast Towards the West he discovered as far as Cabo de la Vela, where there was also a pearl fishery; In this navigation and discovery he entered the entire coast of Venençuela, which is from the port and province of Caracas to the Maracaybo lagoon.
After this first visit, I did not find that other Spaniards entered this land of Venezuela, with or without an army, until after the year one thousand five hundred and twenty-fifth, when the Indians were given as slaves, and there was in the On the Spanish island, many vezinos who made armies and went to the other islands and the coast of Tierra Firme to make horseback rides and enter the Indian towns and seize those who could and make them slaves, as this was their main deal and contract. . Among these merchants or dealers was vn Juan de Ampres, factor of the A king on that island, who at this time made certain people to get ahead with his manner of treatment. It is said of this Juan de Ampres that, having left Santo Domingo to make slaves, that he brought to the Gulf and coast of Venezuela, where they say the Cape of San Roman, and he entered a port that through the cavsa of this promontory or point makes the sea there, in When he was surprised and had jumped ashore, he received news that a lord or principal was in that land or province, of the Caquetio nation, who for the most part tend to be people of very good disposition and inclination and friends of Spaniards. This principal subjected and commanded all that province and was very powerful, and for this reason very feared and even tributed by all his circumbezinos, with which he had easily made them believe that he was the champion and maker of many things that the earth and elements They naturally produce by divine ordinance, such as rain, hail, thunder, and lightning, and snowfall and dry spells; And since good weather and the fruitfulness of the earth depend on these things falling in their times, and the people having sustenance, those natives feared with very frightened spirits the power of this principal, and therefore they considered it almost as God, respecting it and reverencing it with extreme degree, and trying to be all subject to his will to such a degree that when he had to go away from his house or town some recreations or hobbies or to wars, he was carried by the most important of his subjects, carried on the shoulders, in a type of bed that is commonly called a hammock, without any distance of the road being traveled on foot or in any kind of donkeys, little or great. because in this land there were none at that time, although now, as will be seen later, it is very abundant of all kinds of cattle.
Juan de Ampres, knowing the greatness of this gentleman, tried to have trade and dealings with him, understanding that much good and benefit would result from his friendship and benefit to him and his companions, and thus he had manners and manners in which this principal came to visit and see him. , because even though he was in his land and was as powerful as has been said, and the Juan de Ampres of fewer people and possible, he wanted to use the term that our Spaniards have always had in conquests and discoveries, giving the natives to understand, No matter how powerful and mighty they are, do not have them or esteem them in anything, in order to be more esteemed by them in this way; And so he was visited by this principal, who made this visit with as much honor as he could so that the Spaniards would know and see that his power and knowledge were great. He brought some things as presents, as well as food, gold and blankets, which Juan de Ampres received, and in compensation for this he gave him some things and ransoms, which although by the Indians and mainly were held in high regard because they were very new to them. I am certain that they never reached the price and value of what this principal presented to you, because they certified to me that they passed of eight thousand pesos of fine gold, without the other little things of blankets and food and other toys that the Indians usually present.
There they spoke and communicated through their interpreters, and discussed peace and friendships, which this principal and his subjects have always kept until this day; and although on several occasions they have given him the opportunity to break it, and they have still gone through the other tribulations of being looted and robbed of soldiers and some of them made conclabi , but with all this they have always preserved the first peace.
He determined to make a rancheria and settlement there and not to leave that site deserted by the Spaniards, considering it a safe port to make their entrances into that mainland and pass more prosperously forward with their granaries, and so to date it did not become depopulated, because there or near The city that they say is Coro is populated there, which was the first to be populated in that governorate.
This is the origin and beginning of the government of Venezuela, which, just as it was unhappy in some way, making the natives slaves, so its success has never been very happy, because with six cities being populated there, which are Coro , Burburata, La Balençia, Baqueçimeto, El Tocuyo, Truxillo and two other towns that have now been populated in the province of Caracas, are not enough the fifths that the King has there to pay the officials who administer and govern that land spiritually and temporally, and thus His Majesty fulfills the salaries that he gives to the Bishop and Governor and to the others, from the rent he has in Cabo de la Vela or Rio de la Hacha, which is where they get the pearls.
And because what I have pointed out here in short, will be seen by the speech of the present story, we will go ahead with the business of our government of Venezuela (A).
NOTES TO CHAPTER I
(A) Little precise, as of mere references, are the reports of Padre Aguado about the origins of the Government of Venezuela, and what refers to Juan de Ampies or Ampres is not entirely accurate.
He was not the first to be authorized to effect salvage in said part. Before Ampies was granted to the notary public of the Court and Chancery of Santo Domingo, Diego Caballero, a royal license so that, under the inspection of the Oidor of said Court, Mr. Jerónimo Lebron, prepare, within eight months, an army , and dedicated with her to rescue in the part of Tierra Firme between the Capes of San Román and de la Vela, that is, in an extension of about one hundred leagues of coast .
This took place in 1525; but the following year, perhaps because the results obtained by Caballero were not of great benefit, Admiral Don Diego Colón and the judge of residence of Hispaniola, Mr. Rodrigo de Figueroa, granted the factor of that Island, Juan de Ampies, authorization, confirmed by the Emperor the same year, to rescue without violence in the neighboring islands of "the mainland called Castilla del Oro and in the places of Coquibacoa and Sauca and Paraguachoa", and "to populate the said islands and guard them from the armies that pass through them, and industrious (the Indians) in the things of our Holy Catholic Faith» .
So Ampies did not go to Venezuela by his own will. and without any authority, as seems to emerge from the story of Padre Aguado, but with royal license and invested with powers to populate and govern; faculties that he used with political sense and humanitarian sentiments, resolutely protecting the natives and thus trying to attract and re
