Nuño Beltran de Guzman: Behind the Bastardos

When it comes to the Spanish Conquistadors, it’s not incorrect to say they were pretty terrible people. But out of all of them, one name stands out, he also happens to be the founder of Guadalajara, Jalisco, among other towns in the Northwest of Mexico. Nuño Beltran de Guzman was called "the most depraved man to set foot in New Spain".

In this episode, Cristina tells Carmen about Nuño Beltran de Guzman, in a new series they are calling "Behind the Bastardos", where they talk about some of the worst people in Latin American history.
