CARVAJAL, Francisco de (car-va-hal'), Spanish soldier, born about 1464; died in 1548. He distinguished himself at the battle of Pavia, and at the sack of Rome in 1527; then served in America, whither avarice had led him, and contributed to the victory of Chnpas, which Vaca de Castro, governor of Peru, obtained over young Diego de A1-magro, and in 1542 became a general. Ranging himself on the side of Gonzalo Pizarro, he became the soul of his party. He was made prisoner with Pizarro in 1548, at the battle of Cuzco, and soon afterward taken and killed by the populace, who dragged him through the streets of Cuzco and cut his body to pieces. Carvajal resembled the other conquerors of the new world, both in valor and cruelty. More than 20,000 Indians whom he had enslaved are said to have died under the weight of the labor he had heaped upon them.
