Aunque Francisco Lopez de Gomara nunca fue a America, la historia de la conquista le fue contada por el propio Cortes y otros expedicionarios. Con estos testimonios escribio la Historia General de las Indias y conquista de Mexico (1552), muy difundida en su epoca. El texto es una autentica sucesion pormenorizada de aquellos acontecimientos, una cronica ordenada y bien insertada en la historia, escrita con estilo elegante, y llena de citas de los clasicos;una exaltacion epica de Cortes, al estilo de Plutarco. Respecto a los indigenas, su punto de vista fue el oficial, opuesto al de fray Bartolome de las Casas.

"Los bigrafos no se ponen de acuerdo sobre las fechas de su nacimiento y muerte, parece que vivi entre 1510 y 1560. Naci en Sevilla y estudi en la Universidad de Alcal. Fue uno de los principales cronistas de la conquista espaola de Amrica; ense lenguas clsicas en la Universidad de Alcal y despus se hizo sacerdote y fue secretario y capelln de Hernn Corts. Aunque Francisco Lpez de Gomara nunca fue a Amrica, la historia de la conquista le fue contada por el propio Corts y otros expedicionarios."

Francisco Lopez de Gomara (1511 - 1566), fue un eclesiastico e historiador espanol que destaco como cronista de la conquista espanola de Mexico, a pesar de que nunca atraveso el Atlantico. Aunque tampoco viajo al Nuevo Mundo, escribio muchas obras que se refieren a su conquista. Fue tambien un humanista que conocio a Hernan Cortes y se quedo en su casa como capellan, escuchando lo que decian todos aquellos que pasaban por dicha casa. La concepcion caudillista de Lopez de Gomara fue punto de partida para la vision distinta de Bernal Diaz del Castillo, en su Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espana. El libro Historia General de las Indias recoge los relatos escuchados por el autor de boca de los que regresaban de America, y nos remonta a la epoca de la conquista del Nuevo Continente. Mas que una cronica exacta y cientifica de lo contado, el lector se enfrentara a una cosmovision muy especifica que retrata con entusiasmo la psicologia, las contradicciones y hasta las cambiantes creencias de una epoca como pocas en la historia humana.
