The present study uses concrete examples to give a detailed analysis of the way in which
conquistadores and cronistas [chroniclers] fashioned their “self”, with the objective of convincing a real and virtual receptor that their behaviors regarding the events were justified. For this, each author makes adecuate use of an expressive form –within a concrete genre system- that corresponds both to his own interests and to those of the receptor. It is clear that in the generic system of the XVI centruy, two forms allowed the presence of the «self» without loss of decorum: the letter of relation, and the relación de sucesos[report of events].

En el presente estudio haré un detallado análisis ―a través de ejemplos concretos― de la manera como conquistadores y cronistas modelaron su propio «yo», con el objeto último de convencer ―a través de dicha modelación― a un receptor real y virtual de que sus propios comportamientos ante los hechos estaban más que justificados. Y para ello cada autor hizo un uso adecuado ―dentro de un sistema genérico concreto― de una forma expresiva que correspondiera tanto a sus intereses, como a las exigencias del receptor. Es claro que en el sistema genérico del siglo XVI, dos de estas formas permitían ―sin pérdida del decoro― la presencia de un «yo»: la carta de relación, y la relación de sucesos («memorial de guerra»).
