'll tell you a woman of the name is offensive or adjective in our days, we'll talk about some actions that helped the Mexican soil groups to get rid of the power of Tenochtitlan, I will tell you of Malinche, legend, myth and bad picture.
The name of the most important woman in the conquest was born and baptized Catholic Malintzin Marina. "Malinche" was the name given to Hernán Cortés Native Mexican lands, the first call it was the cacique of Tlaxcala Xicotencatl the Elder.
Treason and contempt was not Mexican English to serve blindly give away the natives as slaves, are the stars that adorn the clothing
Cozumel was the first place you Hernán Cortés arrived with his troops , then made sail for the Grijalva River, formerly called Tabasco river where people fought with Potochtlan taking the success of his first battle. The next day we had to make peace envoys of the Lord Potochtlan with presents of gold, jewelry, blankets and 20 women, among them was Malinche.
Hernán Cortés made such women were baptized and gave his captains who now if they could have sex with them without the high risk of being excommunicated for having sex with People heretic. Malinche was given to a man named Alonso Hernández Portocarrero who proved his lips before Hernán Cortés.
Malintzin Potochtlan was not native, Painalla she was originally from the province of Coatzacoalcos in Veracruz state, his parents were rulers of the place and she inherited the chieftainship, but the father died and mother married another chief with whom he had a son and she agreed with the new husband, the death of the daughter of one of his servants pretend that Malinche was the one who was dead and no longer take over. Malinche was given as a slave to a Xicalancas those who gave the people of Potochtlan.
In Chalchiucueyehcan Malintzin soldiers looked at the Nahuatl language to speak clearly with another woman by preparing tortillas, and as dominant the Mayan language, was brought back to court who used it as a translator and lover. She communicated inicialmete in Nahuatl and Maya was in the translation to an Indian who spoke English and Mayan. Soon he mastered the English language.
In Tlaxcala, advised cutting off the hands of spies so that the Indians respected the English. When the English army was in Cholula, a mature woman to save her the surprise attack that had prepared for them, offered to accompany her to save and even suggested he be the wife of one of his sons, Cortez warned Malintzin who also receiving reports of Tlaxcala who accompanied him decided to carry out the massacre of Cholula.
In Tenochtitlán, Cortés and leads his men to conquer Montezuma intelligence q ue is the key to Empire. She was saved only by Hernán Cortés and a group of captains in the famous Noche Triste in which they have to leave in a hurry Tenochtitlán, chased by Aztec warriors led by Cuitlahuac, and she fought as a man to his side.
Malinche is the one that helps the English to make alliances with disaffected chiefs to enable them to conquer, in 1521, Tenochtitlan, the fabled city on the water and the Aztec empire.
After the fall of Mexico, Malinche had a son with the conqueror: Martín Cortés, who would be executed by pr imer rebel against the crown of Spain.
In 1524, Cortes married one of his captains, Juan Jaramillo, somewhere near Orizaba to avoid problems with his new wife, a noble English never visited New Spain. Juan Jaramillo and Malinche have a daughter.
A morning of January 29, 1529, died mysteriously at home Malintzin locatd on the streets of the coin, his death certificate was signed by Peter of Ghent, maybe she was murdered for not to testify against Cortés in the trial that followed him to it.
