History of Montezuma and Cortes?
Franciso Pizzaro conquered the Incas. And Hernan Cortes defeated the Aztecs with help of Dona Marina.
Hernan Cortes had several children, but the most well-known ones were MartÃn Cortés and Catalina Pizarro. MartÃn Cortés was born to Cortes and his indigenous interpreter and mistress, La Malinche (Malintzin). Catalina Pizarro was born to Cortes and his first wife, Catalina Suárez Marcaida.
She was able to translate and help overcome the many struggles that Cortes had faced when confronted by many Indians especially in the beginning of the conquest. She helped to pursuade many tribes into peace and not fight against Cortes because he just wanted peace.
Hernan Cortes was a conquistador who brought the Aztec empire under Spanish rule. La Malinche, also known as Dona Marina, was a native Nahua woman who interpreted for him.
