een England and Spain grew cold, there
was no longer any occasion for secrecy; and little by little it
became known that the Swan had sailed to the Spanish main, that
Roger had formed one of the conquering band of Cortez, and that
Amenche was not a Spaniard but an Aztec Princess. This caused a
great talk at the time, and added much to the consideration in
which Roger was held. He took a leading position in the country
and, many years after, fitted out two ships at his own cost to
fight against the Spanish Armada.
Happily, Amenche's health never suffered from the change to the
comparatively cold climate of Devonshire. She bore Roger several
children, and to this day many of the first families in Devonshire
are proud that there runs in their veins the blood of the Aztec
princess.
