Kurš datēja Malinche?

La Malinche (* um 1505 nahe Coatzacoalcos; † um 1529 in Tenochtitlan), im Nahuatl Malintzin oder Malinalli genannt, von den Spaniern auf den Namen Marina getauft und danach Doña Marina genannt, spielte als Dolmetscherin und spätere Geliebte des Konquistadors Hernán Cortés eine bedeutende Rolle während dessen Eroberungsfeldzuges gegen die Azteken. Auch Cortés selbst wurde „Malinche“ genannt, etwa von Moctezuma.

Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano, 1st Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca (December 1485 – December 2, 1547) was a Spanish conquistador who led an expedition that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire and brought large portions of what is now mainland Mexico under the rule of the King of Castile in the early 16th century. Cortés was part of the generation of Spanish explorers and conquistadors who began the first phase of the Spanish colonization of the Americas.

Born in Medellín, Spain, to a family of lesser nobility, Cortés chose to pursue adventure and riches in the New World. He went to Hispaniola and later to Cuba, where he received an encomienda (the right to the labor of certain subjects). For a short time, he served as alcalde (magistrate) of the second Spanish town founded on the island. In 1519, he was elected captain of the third expedition to the mainland, which he partly funded. His enmity with the governor of Cuba, Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, resulted in the recall of the expedition at the last moment, an order which Cortés ignored.

Arriving on the continent, Cortés executed a successful strategy of allying with some indigenous people against others. He also used a native woman, Doña Marina, as an interpreter. She later gave birth to his first son. When the governor of Cuba sent emissaries to arrest Cortés, he fought them and won, using the extra troops as reinforcements. Cortés wrote letters directly to the king asking to be acknowledged for his successes instead of being punished for mutiny. After he overthrew the Aztec Empire, Cortés was awarded the title of marqués del Valle de Oaxaca, while the more prestigious title of viceroy was given to a high-ranking nobleman, Antonio de Mendoza. In 1541, Cortés returned to Spain, where he died six years later of natural causes.

Alonso Hernández Puertocarrero, né avant 1495 à Medellín dans le royaume de Castille et mort vers 1523 dans une prison en Espagne, est un conquistador espagnol qui a participé aux débuts de la conquête du Mexique (1519-1521) dans l'expédition dirigée par Hernán Cortés.

Mais, envoyé en Espagne en octobre 1519, il est jeté en prison en raison des très mauvaises relations de Cortés avec le gouverneur de Cuba, son supérieur hiérarchique.
