NARVAEZ, PANFILO DE (c. 148o-1528)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 243 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NARVAEZ, PANFILO DE (c. 148o-1528) , Spanish adventurer, was an hidalgo of Castile, born at Valladolid about 1480. He was one of the subordinates of
Velazquez
  in the reduction of Cuba, and, after having held various posts under his
governor
 -ship, was put at the head of the force sent to the Aztec
coast
  to compel
Cortes
  to renounce his command; he was surprised and defeated, however, by his abler and more active compatriot at Cempoalla, and made prisoner with the loss of an eye (1520). After his return to Spain he obtained from Charles V. a grant of Florida as far as the River of Palms; sailing in 1527 with five ships and a force of about 600 men, he landed, probably near Pensacola Bay, in April 1528, and, striking inland with some 300 of his followers, reached " Apalache " on June 25. The prospects of fabulous wealth which had sustained them in their difficult and perilous journey having proved illusory a return to the
coast
  was determined, and the Bahia de los Caballos, at or near St Mark's, was reached in the following month. Having built rude boats, the much-reduced company sailed hence for
Mexico
  on September 22, but the vessel which carried Narvaez was driven to sea in a
storm
  and perished. His
lieutenant
 , Cabeza de Vaca, with three others who ultimately reached land, made his way across
Texas
  to the Gulf of California. (See FLORIDA.)

Prescott
 , Conquest of
Mexico
 ; H. H. Bancroft, Mexico (1882189o) ; and the Naufragio of Alvaro Nunez Cabeza de Vaca in the Biblioteca of Rivadeneyra, xxii.
