Years: 1396 - 1539
Cortes returns to Mexico in April 1526, and the remaining Spaniards resume their strife.
Some order is again restored in October of this year when the first royal governor, Diego Lopez de Salcedo, arrives.
Lopez de Salcedo's policies, however, drive many indigenous people, once pacified by Cortes, into open revolt.
His attempt to extend his jurisdiction into Nicaragua results in his imprisonment by the authorities there.
After agreeing to a Nicaraguan-imposed definition of the boundary between the two provinces, Lopez de Salcedo is released but does not return to Honduras until 1529.
