While in or near Tenochtitlan, she was given as a gift to the spaniard army. She knew multiple Mayan languages along with her native tounge, Nahuatl. With the help of a Spanish priest who had learned Mayan as a prisoner, she learned Spanish as well. However, her relationship with Cortez was not only political. She became his love and mistress and bore his first son, Don Martin Cortez. She was considered a great help to the spanish but to some of her people, she was a traitor. She was born in approxamately 1496 and died approxamately 1529.

Malinche, also known as La Malinche or Doña Marina, played a significant role as an interpreter, advisor, and intermediary for Hernan Cortes during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. She was instrumental in helping facilitate communication between the Spanish and indigenous peoples, which ultimately led to the fall of the Aztec Empire. Malinche's complex legacy represents the cultural and historical intersection of colonialism, indigenous resistance, and identity in Latin America.
