Talk:Pedro Menéndez de Avilés

WP - no place for euphemisms
Menéndez order that the survivors be "put to the sword". In other words... he ordered that they be killed. Why circumlocute? Just say "killed", rather than "put to the sword". Fuzzform (talk) 20:25, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Son (Juan)
The article, under "Family," contains a sentence fragment claiming that Pedro finally located his lost son: "and finally found his son Juan." Is there a reference to back this up?

There's a nice outline of the entire family at http://www.euskalnet.net/laviana/gen_astures/aviles.htm. It does not indicate that the son was found, and it offers no line of succession from the son, which seems unusual if he did indeed survive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.180.49.44 (talk) 08:34, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

There's a reference to Menendez looking for his son in 1564 in Paul Hoffman, Florida's Frontiers (2002:46).
