The Itza, the Yalain, the Kowoj, and other Maya populations in Pet\u00e9n were engaged in a complex web of alliances and enmities before the conquest. Pet\u00e9n was first penetrated by Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s with a sizeable expedition that crossed the territory from north to south in 1525. In the first half of the 16th century Spain established neighbouring colonies in Yucat\u00e1n to the north and Guatemala to the south. In 1622 a military expedition from Yucat\u00e1n led by Captain Francisco de Mirones was massacred by the Itza.  In 1628 the Manche Ch&#8217;ol of the south were placed under the administration of the colonial governor of Verapaz within the Captaincy General of Guatemala. In 1695 another expedition tried to reach Lake Pet\u00e9n Itz\u00e1 from Guatemala.
