However, unlike most other rich \u003ci\u003econquistadores\u003c\/i\u003e who returned to the land of their birth, Francisco was not allowed to settle into a life of leisure. Instead, he was charged with bigamy and illegal shipment of silver, was arrested and imprisoned. Francisco's first wife (thought long dead) had filed suit in Spain against her renegade husband.\u003cbr\u003eSo begins the labyrinthine legal tale and engrossing drama of an explorer and his two wives, skillfully reconstructed through the expert and original archival research of Alexandra Parma Cook and Noble David Cook. Drawing on the remarkable records from the trial, the narrative of Francisco's adventures provides a window into daily life in sixteenth-century Spain, as well as the \u003ci\u003ementalit \u003c\/i\u003e and experience of conquest and settlement of the New World. Told from the point of view of the conquerors, Francisco's story reveals not only the lives of the middle class and minor nobility but also much about those at the lower rungs of the social order and relations between the sexes.\u003cbr\u003eIn the tradition of Carlo Ginzberg's \u003ci\u003eThe Cheese and the Worms\u003c\/i\u003e and Natalie Zemon Davis' \u003ci\u003eThe Return of Martin Guerre, Good Faith and Truthful Ignorance\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates an historical period-the world of sixteenth-century Spain \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e Peru-through the wonderful and unusual story of one man and his two wives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noble David Cook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 5.74w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822312222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlexandra Parma Cook is an independent scholar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoble David Cooks is Professor of History at Florida International University.
