“The historian who really destroys this is Matthew Restle in his brilliant, brilliant book on the meeting between Montezuma and Cortes.”

Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: historical accounts of conquest
For: historians and those interested in colonial history
Key quote: “the historian who really destroys this is Matthew Restle in his brilliant, brilliant book on the meeting between Montezuma and Cortes.”
The host discusses the implausibility of traditional narratives surrounding Montezuma's surrender to the Spanish, referencing Matthew Restle's work to challenge these historical assumptions. Restle's book provides a compelling argument that flips the narrative, suggesting that Montezuma had more control than previously thought.
