Francisco Pizarro died a violent death. On June 16,1541, while he was having dinner in his governor's palace, a group of men, led by the son of his ex-partner, Diego de Almagro, broke in and stabbed him to death. As he lay dying from multiple sword wounds, he drew a cross on the ground in his own blood, kissing it, and crying “Jesus.”

During the conquest of Peru, Francisco Pizarro has been killed by Diego de Almagro to avenge the death of his father at the hands of Hernando Pizarro, after the elder Almagro had turned against the Pizarros. Diego now wants to kill Gonzalo Pizarro and to become emperor of Peru, since Juan Pizarro has died and Hernando Pizarro is now in prison in Spain. During a battle between the Spaniards and the Amazons, Gonzalo Pizarro is struggling with Menalipe, queen of the Amazons, but he refuses to draw his sword against her. Francisco de Caravajal is fighting Martesia, Menalipe's sister. Martesia, a profetisa, tells Caravajal that she knows all about him and says that she wants to marry him. Since marriage is forbidden to the Amazons, she will have to change the law of her people in order for them to marry.
