In Cortés's absence his enemies at home gradually triumphed, and after his return his power was made more fictitious than real by the audiencia. Although on his visit to Spain (1528-30) Cortés was made marqués del Valle de Oaxaca, Charles V refused to name him governor. Returning to Mexico, he vainly sent out maritime expeditions, frustrated more than once by Nuño de Guzmán . Subsequently he quarreled with the viceroy, Antonio de Mendoza , and in 1540 he again sought justice in Spain. There, neglected by the court, he died.
