“innumerable rooms inside…and admirable white fur robes”: Thomas, Conquest, p. 280.
The idea that Montezuma considered Cortés a god (in footnote): Camilla Townsend,
“Burying the White Gods: New Perspectives on the Conquest of Mexico,” American Historical
Review 108, no. 3 (2003): 659–87.
“The impossibility of adequately translating…Spanish surrender”: Matthew Restall, When
Montezuma Met Cortés: The True Story of the Meeting That Changed History (New York:
Harper Collins, 2018), p. 345.
If you are interested in the Cortés-Montezuma story, I strongly recommend the last two of
these sources. Restall’s book is marvelous. And Townsend is that rarest of historians, able to
write scholarly history in academic journals that reads like it was written for all of us.
