I was never a big PH fan but Conquistador is a GREAT song - especially live.
There’s an absolutely amazing live, outdoor version in Denmark with orchestra - sadly no longer available.
The version I have is from ‘73 and is with the Edmonton Philharmonic. It’s a real fun song to play on guitar, too, which is surprisingly a very similar chord progression to “You’ll be a woman soon”, by Neil Diamond..
In the song, the conquistador is killed on a beach. Perhaps he was fighting French pirates at Havana in the 1570's or Dutch privateers at Acapulco in 1624.
