Almagro was Francisco Pizarro's partner, and he received the Southern area.

Diego de Almagro, ( c. 1475 – July 8, 1538 ), also known as El Adelantado and El Viejo ( The Elder ), was a Spanish conquistador and a companion and later rival of Francisco Pizarro.

Diego de Almagro was born in the Spanish city signified by his last name, being the illegitimate son of Juan de Montenegro and Elvira Gutiérrez.

When Almagro turned four, he was left under the tutelage of an uncle named Hernán Gutiérrez.

Almagro was later found in Seville as the servant of don Luis de Polanco, who was one of that city's mayors.

Espinosa decided to undertake a new expedition, which left in December of the same year with 200 men including Almagro himself and Francisco Pizarro, who for the first time was designated as a captain.

Also during this time Almagro established a friendship with Vasco Núñez de Balboa, who during the time was in charge of Acla, with the intent of making a ship with the materials of the Espinosa expedition and later finish it in the " Great South Sea " as the Pacific Ocean first became known to the Spanish.

Almagro took part in the incursions, foundations and conquests developed in the Gulf of Panama, participating once again in the expeditions of Espinosa, who was known to travel in the ships of Balboa.

By 1524 an association of conquest regarding South America was formalized among Almagro, Pizarro and Luque.

Despite this, Almagro still obtained an important fortune for his services, and the King awarded him in November 1532 the noble title of " Don " and he was assigned a personal coat of arms.

Although by this time Diego de Almagro had already acquired sufficient wealth in the conquest of Peru and was living a luxurious life in Cuzco, the prospect of conquering the lands further south was very attractive to him.

The crown had previously assigned Almagro the governorship of Cuzco, and as such Almagro was heading there when Charles V divided the territory between Nueva Castilla and Nueva Toledo.

Almagro was able to put together a force of 500 men, many of which had come with him to Peru.

Almagro, who was not yet satisfied to go forward, had ordered Juan de Saavedra to advance with one hundred men that, at a distance of thirty leagues, would establish a small town that would wait for the rest with food and natives that would be captured to serve them.

Some sources suggest Almagro received such a requirement in 1534 by the Spanish king and was officially declared governor of New Toledo.

Upon this point, Almagro determined everything was a failure.

Almagro promptly initiated the exploration of the new territory starting towards the valley of the Aconcagua River, where he was well received by the natives.

The exploration of the territories of Nueva Toledo, which lasted 2 years, was marked by a complete failure for Almagro.

The withdrawal of the Spanish from valleys of Chile was violent: Almagro authorized his soldiers to ransack the natives ' properties, leaving their soil desolate ; there was not one Spaniard that did not enslave a native for his service.

Upon his return to Peru in 1537, Almagro was bitter and eager to once and for all claim the riches of the city of Cuzco for himself.

Almagro was condemned to death and decapitated while in confinement on July 8, 1538 ( other sources suggest he was garrotted, which would have been more likely for a Christian man of fame ).

Almagro is later caught and executed.

Almagro was executed on 1538, under Hernándo Pizarro's orders.

The Almagristas were finally defeated in the battle of Chupas on September 16, 1542, and their leader, Diego Almagro El Mozo, was executed.

Almagro arrived in the New World on June 30, 1514, under the expedition that Ferdinand II of Aragon had sent under the guidance of Pedrarias Dávila.

Almagro undertook his first conquest on November 1515, when he left Darien in command of 260 men and founded Villa del Acla, located in the place of the same name, but due to illness he had to leave behind this mission to the licenciate Gaspar de Espinosa.

This might have been the reason why Almagro did not immediately confront Pizarro for Cuzco, and promptly decided to embark on his new quest for the discovery of the riches of Chile.

Almagro left Cuzco on July 3, 1535 with his supporters and stopped at Moina until the 20th of that month.

After crossing the Bolivian mountain range and traveling past Lake Titicaca, Almagro arrived on the shores of the Desaguadero River and finally set up camp in Tupiza.

Dismayed, Almagro initiated his plans of return to Peru on September 1536.

Hoping to enlist the help of the Inca, Almagro offered Manco Inca a pardon on behalf of the Spanish government.

Manco Inca never officially joined Almagro in his attack on Cuzco.

In 1534 Sebastián de Belalcázar along with Diego de Almagro established the city of San Francisco de Quito on top of the ruins of the secondary Inca capital naming it in honor of Pizzaro.

There he took part on the side of Hernando Pizarro in his struggle against Diego de Almagro and fought in the battle of Las Salinas in 1538, which saw Almagro defeated and captured.

The resistance of the Indians became daily stronger, and as the ship that he had constructed in Aconcagua was also destroyed by the natives, Valdivia sent in 1542 overland to Peru his lieutenant Alonso de Monroy with five followers to seek reinforcements, but, on account of the disturbance in that country in consequence of the defeat of El Mozo Almagro by Cristóbal Vaca de Castro, Monroy could not obtain much aid, and returned in September 1543, with only seventy horsemen, also sending by sea a vessel with provisions and ammunition to the port of Aconcagua.

Almagro wrote two books collecting all data on the majority of cemeteries in the area.

Boca took second place to San Lorenzo de Almagro in the 2007 Clausura tournament, but went on to win the Copa Libertadores with a 5-0 overall rout of Brazilian Grêmio.

In the course of these events, Almagro left for Lima for a negotiation with Francisco on who would control Cuzco.

Upon his return to Quito, Gonzalo learned that the Almagristas ( as the followers of Almagro were called ) had assassinated his brother Francisco Pizarro on June 26, 1541 in retaliation for Almagro's execution.

Under his guidance, San San Lorenzo de Almagro was formally established on April 1, 1908 honoring Father Massa, the Battle of San Lorenzo, Saint Lawrence and, of course, the barrio.

The other teams taking part on the tournament were Club Atlético Atlanta, Club Atlético Huracán, Ferro Carril Oeste, Estudiantil Porteño and Sportivo Almagro.

Delighted at the luck of having established quarters in such a defensible position, and mindful that his battered vessel out on the shore would not carry him much farther, Pizarro elected to send a contingent of men under Lieutenant Montenegro back to Panama for repairs and supplies while his own troops manned the village ramparts and awaited the arrival of Diego de Almagro, whose own expeditionary force, following the path of Pizarro's, was bound to arrive shortly.

Attempting to take advantage of a disagreement between Diego de Almagro and Francisco Pizarro, he marched on the city of Cuzco in 1536 in an attempt to throw the Spaniards out.
