received this information, he took no steps nor did he place any guard over his person. He made Dr. Blázquez his lieutenant, in succession to Francisco de Chaves, who had held the post up to that time. The captain Alonso de Alvarado arrived from Chachapoyas, and had some words with Francisco de Chaves and Gómez de Alvarado in the presence of the Marquis. It came to such a pass that Alonso de Alvarado and Gómez de Alvarado challenged each other and took the field. When the Marquis heard of it he interfered and induced these two captains to make peace. He looked on Alonso de Alvarado with much favour, as his own captain and the founder of the city of La Frontera.[30] With permission of the Marquis he returned to that city. FOOTNOTES: [26] There were two captains of the name Francisco de Chaves, believed to be cousins. They should not be confused together. One was a very distinguished officer, a friend of the Marquis Pizarro but not ignoring his faults. He was murdered by Juan de Herrada and the other assassins of Pizarro. The other was one of Almagro's captains, also murdered by Juan de Herrada on account of a private quarrel. For distinction I call one Francisco de Chaves (the good) and the other Francisco de Chaves (the bad). [27] _i.e._ the partisans of old Diego de Almagro, deceased. [28] The Marquis had received young Diego Almagro most hospitably in his own house, where he was lodged as a guest for months. His conduct must have been very disreputable, to have made the Marquis send him away to the care of Francisco de Chaves. Cieza de León says that he was addicted to the vices of his countrymen. [29] Illán and Benito Suárez de Caravajal were brothers. [30] Chachapoyas.
