This is another piece of 2-28-Whenever….
1525 – The Aztec king Cuauhtémoc is executed by Hernán Cortés’s forces.

Cuauhtemoc was defeated more by famine than by force of arms. The Spaniards, backed by their Indian allies, seized the city market and the defenders were threatened with starvation. Indomitable as ever, Cuauhtemoc decided to raise fresh forces in the countryside to aid the beleaguered city. But he was captured while crossing the lake in a pirogue and, with that, all Aztec resistance ended.
Cortés treated his foe chivalrously. “A Spaniard knows how to respect valor even in an enemy,” he declared. Then, to his eternal discredit, he allowed Aldrete, the greedy royal treasurer, to have Cuauhtemoc tortured to make him reveal the whereabouts of hidden treasure.
Cuauhtemoc, insisting that there was no hidden treasure, heroically stood up under the ordeal. In the end, a shamed Cortés delivered him from Aldrete’s hands. But there was a final horror. In 1525, Cuauhtemoc was serving as an auxiliary on a Cortés-led expedition into Honduras. Convinced by an Indian convert to Christianity that Cuauhtemoc was conspiring against him, Cortés had him tried for treason. Found guilty, he was sentenced to hang.
The history here is extremely interesting, and I would recommend you go to the link and read the whole article this came out of.

I just lost a big humble post, to a malfunction, and you go causing me all this new work. Some of the “RULES” are simple enough, but now, on top of having to learn a bunch of fancy computer crud, I have go back to all of my people and research, how many folks they’ve got. So I do it all right..And some of those questions are hard! And is there a widget for to post an award on? Or do I just make a sticky, that lasts forever, or what? I know this is getting long worded, so you have my permission to use this as a fire-starting kit, or a post..Thanks, for your help, and Thanks I think for the nomination.

Add a link to their blog like I did in my post
How to do it- While writing a post, go to the HTML section from the Visual sectio. There select the text and click on ‘link’ , a pop up will open up and add the link to that person’s website.
Try , it’s simple:)
