I believe the answer is:

conquistador

(Other definitions for conquistador that I've seen before include "Spanish soldier invading 16th-century Mexico and Peru" , "Spanish invader of Mexico and Peru" , "16th-century Spanish adventurer" , "Spanish 16th century adventurer" , "Spanish imperialist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
