Mariano Rajoy [..] can only lament. "Europe has to come up with an answer because we can't go on like this for long," he said. It is hard to imagine Isabela I using such language; or Juan Cortes, who brought down the Aztec Empire with a few hidalgos by sheer grit and astucia.

Cortes is gone.
A pity.
Totally.
You mean Hernán. A selfless visionary responsible for the dissemination of humanist principles across the Atlantic.
This is to paraphrase the Audiard line during the opening of Lautner's Les Barbouzes when the thug Eusebio Caffarelli is introduced to the audience by the off-voice narrator:
Citoyen de Genève, représentant des banques et dépositaire de la pensée neutraliste, voici Eusébio Caffarelli, dit « le Chanoine », entomologiste et esprit distingué. Son mysticisme, à la fois très hostile au rationalisme de saint Thomas et à l'orthodoxie mécaniste de la scolastique, le pousse parfois à des actions brutales que sa conscience réprouve. Mais le meilleur des hommes ne saurait être parfait.
Caffarelli.
Caffarelli
Mr Rot is right: Caffarelli is into Hölder inequalities, not barbouze nonsense. Pay up, Charly!
Barbouzes are very much into inequalities.
Bar-booze helps level out ineqs.
