have it

Repartidos los pueblos y señores y gentes dellos por los españoles (que es todo lo que pretenden por medio para alcanzar su fin último, que es el oro), y puestos todos en la tiranía y servidumbre acostumbrada, el tirano capitán principal que aquella tierra mandaba prendió al señor y rey de todo aquel reino, y túvolo preso seis o siete meses, pidiéndole oro y esmeraldas sin otra causa ni razón alguna.
To realize their long-term purpose of seizing all the available gold, the Spaniards employed their usual strategy of apportioning among themselves (or en-commending, as they have it) the towns and their inhabitants … and then, as ever, treating them as common slaves. The man in overall command of the expedition seized the King of the whole territory for himself and held him prisoner for six or seven months, quite illicitly demanding more and more gold and emeralds from him.
