From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin de Ursua was a Spanish conquistador during the early colonial period of New Spain in Central America. He is noted for leading the 1696–97 expeditionary force which resulted in the fall of the last significant independent Maya stronghold, Tayasal, located on an island in Lake Petén Itzá in the northern Petén Basin region of present-day Guatemala.
