17. In June, 1566, General Sancho Arciniega *[Arredondo note * Cardenas, Decada 6*. [ff. 114-115.] arrived at San Agustin with seventeen ships, fifteen hundred men, priests, and families, and many arms and supplies which the king was sending as aid. He brought letters to the Adelantado Pedro Menendez, in which his Majesty approved of all that he had done, ordered him to continue, and expressed himself as well pleased by the punishment meted out to the French Huguenots who had attempted to establish themselves in his dominions without royal authority, in order to plant their false sect, inimical to all the service of God and his Majesty. 20. [Bolton note: In May, 1566, he [Arciniega] sailed for San Agustin, reaching there at the end of June (Lowery, Florida, 222, 223, 255; Connor, Pedro Menindez de Avilis, ch. 21).]
