La Malinche

La Malinche, also known as Malintzin or Marina, was a Nahua woman from the Mexican Gulf Coast who played a significant role in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. She was one of 20 enslaved women given to the Spaniards in 1519 and was chosen by Hernán Cortés as a consort, giving birth to his first son, Martín, who was one of the first Mestizos in New Spain. La Malinche's reputation has shifted over the centuries, with some viewing her as a treacherous temptress and others as a victim or a symbol of Mexican identity. She was baptized as Marina and was known by various names, including Malintzin, Malintzine, and Malinche, with the title Tenepal often being assumed to be part of her name.learn more on wikipedia
