Summary
1. The Captain Pedro de Ursua entered the city of Santa Fé, in the New Kingdom of Granada, with his uncle the licentiate Miguel Diaz de Armendariz, the first Juez de Residencia, who arrived there after the discovery of the kingdom, and settlement of the city. This Pedro de Ursua was a native of the kingdom of Navarre, and of a town called Ursua, near the noble city of Pampluna. From Santa Fé he went down to settle in the town of Pampluna, in New Granada, and thence undertook the conquest of the Musos Indians, and founded the city of Tudela amongst them. He afterwards went to Santa Martha, and there performed deeds worthy of his noble descent. From thence, having returned to Santa Fé, to give an account of what he had done, he descended the great river to Carthagena, intending to go to Peru by way of Panamá. In the execution of this design he reached that city at a time when it was harassed by the incursions which certain negro Cimarrones made almost every day. The people of Panamá, having heard long before of his valorous deeds, and of the conquests with which he had been charged; entrusted to him the pacification of their land, and the punishment of these revolted negroes. Having acquitted himself well in this undertaking, he continued his voyage to Peru, in search of more important work than he had yet been entrusted with; and arrived at the city of Lima in the year 1558; Don Andres Hurtado de Mendoza, Marquis of Cañete (worthy of eternal memory) being then viceroy of that city.
