Pinotl, King Moctezuma’s trusted ambassador greeted Spanish captain Juan de Grijalva and traded Aztec gold for Spanish green beads which led Grijalva to believe he had arrived at a wealthy empire near present day Veracruz.

Velazquez was presently arranging a third trip to conquer the Mexican mainland and overlooked Grijalva for the expedition, and instead chose Hernando Cortes who had served under Velazquez in 1511 in Cuban conquest. During the final moments prior to the expedition, Velazquez decided to recall Cortes from the voyage, however Cortes ignored the command and in February of 1519, he sailed with 600 men to the Mexican mainland.
