Ahí va, es verdad, se me olvidó mandarte la del Imperio... Perdona, es que tengo una cabeza... Oye, y tienen Los Nikis canciones suficientes para llenar 3 cds?
Ah, y respecto a lo de Cortés primero de la lista, yo creo que el primero, primero fue Colón. 
Bueno, no, en realidad, el primero que llevó a cabo una hazaña dignade conquistadores supongo que sería Núñez de Balboa, cruzando la selva del istmo de Panamá "a puro huevo", como diríamos hoy. Por cierto que una de las tribus de indios con las que tuvo que luchar era una cuyos guerreros tenían la costumbre de vestirse de mujeres...
A Balboa le dio tanto asco que les echó a sus perros para que los despedazasen... o algo así me suena ahora...

Sí, los hermanos eran la leche... de ambiciosos, sobre todo. Especialmente Hernando Pizarro, ese sí que fue un personaje, y tenía una especie de conflicto interno sin resolver, porque, aunque unos años menor que Pizarro, era el único legítimo, y se consideraba un poco "cabeza de familia".
Para la empresa de Perú acató la autoridad de Francisco por la experiencia que éste tenía, pero no estaba dispuesto a acatar la de nadie más, de ahí su empeñó en quitar de en medio a Almagro, el socio de Pizarro...

Linguistically, you are correct. It's what makes English so learnable by speakers of Germanic and Romance languages, while at the same time making it so confusing. That said, the 200 or so most commonly used words in English are purely of english origin. The rest just adds color...
Blood ties are germanic, germanic, germanic, and a splash of the original inhabitants. You could divvy them into the Norse, Danes, Saxons, Angles, Normans, and so forth, but these are all germanic peoples. Altho the Normans may have been a mix of Frankish and Celtic, I really am not sure.

A lot of people seem to think that we have a lot of links with France (ie the Normans), but they were Viking - historically we have surprisingly few links with France.
