[Transcriber's Note: The spelling inconsistencies of the original have been retained in this etext.] "A General History and Collection of Voyages and Travels - Volume 05" by Robert Kerr is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume continues to explore early navigations and conquests in the Americas, focusing on the tumultuous events surrounding the conquest of Peru, particularly the usurpation by Gonzalo Pizarro following the death of Francisco Pizarro. It serves as a comprehensive chronicle of the political and military turmoil of the time, detailing various figures involved in these historical narratives. At the start of the volume, the narrative delves into the political machinations following Pizarro's death. It recounts the insurrection led by Gonzalo Pizarro against the viceroy, Blasco Nunnez Vela, highlighting events such as treachery among the soldiers, failed expeditions to seize power, and the subsequent civil strife that ensued. The text outlines critical encounters, including the viceroy's attempts to maintain order amidst rebellions, his eventual defeat, and the mounting tensions that culminated in the further power struggles in the region. This opening portion establishes the complex landscape of 16th-century Peru, setting the stage for a comprehensive historical exploration. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
