La Malinche

World history is so wonderful and amazing but nothing can be compare when you make part of it, so that was me, I'm Malinalli Tenépatl more known as La Malinche or Doña Marina. I was sold by my parents to a cacique of Tabasco, where I learned the Mayan language of the territory itself. When the conquistador Hernán Cortés arrived to the area in March 12, 1519, the indigenous gave a present to him of twenty slave girls to get an agreement of peace between the tribe in which I was and the spaniards, and I was one of those 20 slaves.

The girls were divided between the men's of Hernán Cortez, and I was given to Alonso Hernandez but he had to leave Spain commissioned by the Council in July 1519. Since then, I became the mistress of Cortes and his interpreter. In the beginning I was kind of lost with the Spanish language but soon I became an expert managing the language.

I was feeling extremely proud of my self, when I use to live in Mexico with my tribe I feel no one care about me, I was always left out that's why my parents sold me and the reason because the cacique who own me prefer to left me out of his group. So as you can se I was always underestimated,

I began having a love adventure with Hernán, here in Spain I was the most beautiful indigenous woman and every one wanted to be with me, for the first time in my live I feel loved, I feel I finally cared about. After a long time by the side of Hernán Cortez being her lover I gave him a son in 1523, who was named Martin Cortez.

I used to love so much Hernán, and I wanted to leave my footprint on the earth and the history of witch I was part, I wanted to be remembered by the whole world, I use to know all the Aztec's strategies and secretes because I've always been a brave women so I told Hernán the Aztecs strategies and its way of combating, he followed my advices and Spaniards create an brave strategy to attack the Aztecs, thanks to me Spaniards were able to conquest that kingdom. And that's my footprint on this planet earth.

In 1524 Hernán went on a trip and I think he wasn't being faithful to me, and he didn't appreciate his son as It should be so I decided to leave him and I fell in love with Juan Jaramillo, I was thought my days were near to end so I had my last child of Juan who was a gorgeous girl called Maria and some time later I died in 1527.

Many people could criticize about me but they dont know all the facts.
