Resumen
Descripción
Este artículo ofrece una novedosa interpretación de los principales acontecimientos que acompañan la rebelión de Gonzalo Pizarro (1544-1548) al poner en duda que la tan mentada lealtad al rey haya formado una parte constitutiva y firmemente arraigada en las representaciones de los españoles durante el temprano siglo XVI. También revisa las condiciones políticas y jurídicas que constituyen su base de sustentación. Esta aproximación difiere de la mayor parte de la literatura corriente sobre el tema, que enfatiza en las consecuencias de la rebelión pero elude un análisis del contexto político y de los acontecimientos. La investigación se focaliza sobre la conducta y los discursos de los principales agentes que participan en tan larga y sangrienta rebelión. En los intentos de los hombres de Pizarro, de refundar el feudalismo en el Perú, intervienen ambiciones personales y oportunísticas, canalizadas a través de un fuerte faccionalismo basado sobre relaciones patrón-cliente. Ni la ideología ni la mentalidad de la época pueden aisladamente explicar la abrumadora violencia desplegada por los rebeldes para sostener sus derechos de conquista y los intentos de Gonzalo Pizarro para coronarse rey del Perú.
This article offers an innovative interpretation of the main events that signed the rebelion of Gonzalo Pizarro (1544-1548). It also portrays the political and juridical conditions that constitute its background. This approach differs from the literatura of the matter which mainly emphasized the consequences of the rebelion by avoiding an analysis of both the political context and the events. This research is focused on the behavior and the discourse of the main agents that participated in that long and bloody rebelion. Feudal attempts led Pizarro men, who embodied personal and oportunistic ambitions channeled through a strong factionalism based on patron-client relationship, to rebuild a Paru of their own. Neither ideology nor mentality of the time can solely explain the overwhelming violence displayed by the parties to sustain their rights to conquest and Gonzalo Pizarro's attempts to become king of Peru.
