Were the Spanish & British kings jealous at the Aztec and Mayan Kings during America's invasion of 1521 ?

As for being jealous, the Europeans were not jealous of their wisdom, for the Europeans had their own wise men, but they were greedy and wanted all of the treasure that was there. In the books I have read, many of the conquerors in fact used these "wise men" to their advantage. Some of the Spanish learned the language in order to communicate with the natives. As it turns out, they only used the native wise men to get deeper into their societies to loot their treasure. Then later after the region was colonized, these men were used as a way to find secrets about the pagan religions that were practiced illegally., and to bring them to "justice."
