  • When Hernan Cortes arrived in Mexico, he
    befriended Maria, an Aztec woman who spoke
    Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, as well as
    Spanish.
  • Maria translated between the Spanish and the
    Aztecs- and is partly responsible for the fall of
    the Aztecs.

  • Maria, or La Malinche has twin boys with the
    Spanish Conquistador- Hernan Cortes.

    to Spain with a new wife and that he will take
    his sons.

    she must not let Cortes take her sons away.

    the river, Cortes soldiers surround her.
