Famous Thirteen

Famous Thirteen

The Famous Thirteen (Spanish "Los trece de la fama," the thirteen of the fame) were a group of 16th century Spanish conquistadors that participated in the Spanish conquest of Peru (second expedition) along with their leader, Francisco Pizarro. The following are the names of those who stayed with Pizarro at the famous Isla de Gallo:

*Nicolás de Rivera "el Viejo", born in Olvera, Andalucía;
*Cristóbal de Peralta, hidalgo of Baeza;
*Antón de Carrión, born in Carrión de los Condes;
*Pedro de Candia, a Greek born in Crete;
*Domingo de Soraluce;
*Francisco de Cuéllar, born in Torrejón de Velasco;
*Juan de la Torre y Díaz Chacón, born in Villagarcía de la Torre de Extremadura;
*Pedro de Halcón, born in Seville;
*García de Jarén;
*Alonso de Briceño, born in Benavente;
*Alonso de Molina, born in Úbeda;
*Gonzalo Martín de Trujillo, born in Trujillo;
*Martín de Paz.

Although Pilot Bartolomé Ruiz crossed the line, he is not counted among the thirteen men, as Pizarro asked him to cross the line.
