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?
