Juan Carlos (El Conquistador)

Juan carlos is a cool conquistador who has gained enteral youth from the youth of fountain.



early life
Juan Carlos was born in Salamanca, Spain, in 1479 to Carlos I and Isabella. At the age of 10, Juan Carlos appointed Dominico de Dúñigin as his tutor which would prove useful later in life with all the lessons he had given him they were joined by Cristóbal de Moura, a close supporter of Juan. In combination, Juan Carlos believed, they would provide a consistent, stable upbringing for him and ensure he avoided the same fate as his late brother who took up too much responsibilities and died of going insane. Juan Carlo’s education was to follow the model for royal princes laid down by Father Salvador de Mariana, focusing on the imposition of restraints and encouragement to form the personality of the individual at an early age, aiming to deliver a king who was neither tyrannical, nor excessively under the influence of his courtiers. Prince Juan Carlos appeared to have been generally liked by his contemporaries with a relatively weak constitution. The comparison with the memory of the disobedient and ultimately insane Carlos was usually a positive one, although some commented that Prince Juan Carlos appeared less intelligent and politically competent than his late brother. Indeed, although Juan Carlos was educated in Spanish, Latin, French, Portuguese and astronomy and appears to have been a competent linguist, recent historians suspect that much of his tutors' focus on Philip's undeniably pleasant, pious and respectful disposition was to avoid reporting that, languages aside, he was not in fact particularly intelligent or academically gifted. Nonetheless his ministers said he needed a wife for Spain. While in Spain that year Juan married María Téllez Girón, Countress of Medina Sidonia.

years in the Yucatán
He left Spain in 1514 and went in Cuba in time to join Alzetora Ferrai and his expedition along the coast of

Yucatán and the Gulf of Mexico. There he had the rank of Captain, and command of 4 ships. On his return to Cuba, he joined with Hernan Cortes and as part of that expedition, helped found the city of La Rica Villa de la Vera Cruz in Mexico. Cortes then sent him as an envoy back to Spain in 1519 to report on the expedition. While in Spain Juan married Beatriz de



Ceiso. In December 1526 the Spanish King, Carlos I, issued a royal decree naming his son Juan and Capitan general of Yucatán. He returned to Yucatán in 1528, and attempted to conquer it along the east coast but was driven back by the ferocity of the resistance of the Maya living along this coast. In 1530 he decided to try conquering yucatán from the west, and began by pacifying what is today the modern Spanish colony of tabasco. From 1531–1535 he tried unsuccessfully to conquer western Yucatán, with some successes but in 1535 his forces were driven from Yucatán. In 1533, Juan received a royal decree giving him permission to conquer puerto Caballos and Naco in honduras. This put him in conflict with Pedro de alvarado, who had received a similar decree in 1532. This only became an issue after Alvarado declared he had conquered and pacified the province of Honduras in 1536. Alvarado continued as Governor of Honduras until 1540, although he recalled was to Spain in 1537. In 1540, the Spanish King awarded the Governorship of Honduras to his son, Juan carlos ad he traveled to gracias a Dios install to an administration loyal to him. It would fall to Carlos' son, Francisco de Guaynabo de Carlos or el fred who was born 1502, but died died 1565, while in battle to conquer Yucatán. He founded the city of Campeche in 1540, and Mérida in 1542. In 1546, the elder Carlos assumed the title of governor and captain general of Yucatán. However, by 1550 people were upset their governor was ill so this caused him to be recalled to Spain where he still remains today. Montejo was succedded into the governor-ship by his only son, and a daughter, Catalina de herrera y Montejo.

back to spain and as king
The royal favourite, who also was Sumiller de Corps and Caballerizo mayor to Carlos, came to power with a desire to commit the monarchy to a crusade of reform, with his early recommendations being extremely radical. The heart of the problem, Carlos felt, was Spain's moral and spiritual decline De Zúñiga and Juan Carlos had both presented Juan Carlos with the concept of restoring the kingdom to its condition under Juan Carlos, undoing the alleged decline that had occurred under the king's father, Juan Carlos and in particular his royal favourite, the Duke of Lerma. Juan Carlos was concerned that Spain was too attached to the idea blood and god. and worried about Castilians' disinclination for manual work. For Olivares, the concept of Spain was centered on the monarchy and Juan Carlos as a person. Juan Carlos was inclined to see domestic policy as a tool in support of foreign policy - a common view amongst contemporary arbitristas, such as Sancho de Moncada and Jeronimo Zeballos. Like many other contemporaries, he had a keen interest in astrology, and its potential impact on the world around him. Naturally, he incorporated that interest into political power, astronomy. Juan Carlos was well known for his passion for work. Early on, Juan Carlos would rise early, go to confession, wake Juan Carlos and discuss the day's events with him, before then working throughout the rest of the day, often until 11 o'clock at night. Initially, Juan Carlos would meet with him three times a day, although this declined over time until he met with the king only once a day. Whilst living a private life of Spartan austerity himself, Juan Carlos was skillful in using the formal and elaborate protocol of the court as a way of controlling the ambitions of Juan Carlos 's enemies and rivals. Determined to attempt to improve the bureaucratic Castilian system of government, during the 1620s Juan Carlos began to create juntas, smaller governmental committees, to increase the speed of decision making.
