  Malintzin Madre del mestizaje; Mexicanos Ilustres
Tan sumisos quedaron los indios, que enviaron diversos presentes a Cortés para congraciarse con él, entre ellos a varias doncellas que mantenían prisioneras y tomadas a otras tribus; entre ellas iba la muy sufrida Malintzin.
En Tabasco permaneció Malintzin hasta 1519, en que llegó Cortés a esas tierras en son de conquista; era una hermosa joven que, junto con otras veinte fue entregada por el cacique del lugar al conquistador español para congraciarse con él.
La muchacha había aprendido la lengua de la región a la perfección, por lo cual fue muy útil a Cortés, con quien iba ya Jerónimo de Aguilar, que hablaba el maya, con lo cual pudo entender a los indios de esas comarcas y a los mismos Mexica.

  Night of Sorrows -- book review
Malintzin is invaluable to Cortez, as he leads his troops into the interior, the final destination Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) and the famed ruler Monteczuma.
Confused and attracted to this unpredictable Spaniard, Malintzin is a survivor, her fate inextricable from his.
Certainly he appreciates that Malintzin is a precious asset, her translating skills critical to the venture.

  La Malinche - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Malinche was introduced to the Spanish in April 1519, when she was among twenty slave women given by the Chontal Maya of Potonchan (in the present-day state of Tabasco) to the triumphant Spaniards.
By the end of the year, when the Spaniards had installed themselves in the Mexican capital Tenochtitlan, it is apparent that the woman, now called "Malintzin" by the Indians, had learned enough Spanish to be translating directly between Cortés and the Mexica (Aztecs).
The similarity between "Malinalli" and "Malintzin" has led to the notion that "Malinalli" might have been her original name; there is, however, nothing but the phonetic coincidence to support it.

 La Malinche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She was also a mistress to Cortés and bore him a son, who is considered one of the first Mestizos (people of mixed European and indigenous American ancestry).
Soon, however, Puertocarrero was on his way to Spain as Cortés' emissary to Charles V, and Cortés decided she was too valuable or attractive to be left in the care of anyone but himself.
