interpreter
Nahua woman who was the interpreter, advisor, and intermediary to Hernán Cortés
Marina or Malintzin, more popularly known as La Malinche, was a Nahua woman from the Mexican Gulf Coast, who became known for contributing to the Spanish invasion of the Aztec Empire (1519–1521), by acting as an interpreter, advisor, and intermediary for the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. She was one of 20 enslaved women given to the Spaniards in 1519 by the natives of Tabasco. Cortés chose her as a consort, and she later gave birth to their first son, Martín – one of the first Mestizos in New Spain.
