Code entry
13. The French having been exterminated, Pedro Menendez changed the name of Castle Charlesfort to San Mateo, because he had captured it on that saint's day. After removing the arms of France and of Admiral Coligny and putting those of Spain in their place, he appointed Sergeant-major Gonzalo Villarruel as its commander. Then, leaving three hundred men and all the provisions that had been found there, he returned with the rest of the soldiers to San Agustin.
