Rodrigo Orgóñez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rodrigo Orgóñez (1490 – April 26, 1538), was Spanish captain under Diego de Almagro. He helped Almagro in his 1537 coup d'etat in Cusco and led Almagro's army against the Pizarros. He was shot and killed at the Battle of Las Salinas, moving American historian William H. Prescott to write: "Thus perished as loyal a cavalier, as decided in council, and as bold in action, as ever crossed to the shores of America."[1]
