Honduran Warrior Lempira (654 words) |
 | The exchange rate was two lempiras to the U.S. dollar in the late 1980s (a twenty-cent coin is called "daime" as it used to be worth the same as a U.S. 10 cent coin or "dime"). |
| Lempira fell from the highcliffs; and with his death, his 30,000 warriors either fled or surrendered. |
| A horseman was ordered to approach within arquebus-shot of the rock and summon Lempira to a colloquy, under pretence of opening negotiations for peace, while a foot soldier who accompanied him, screened from view by the mounted man, shot the unsuspecting chieftain as he appeared on the cliff. |
