    a) She was the Malinche. She was assigned as a slave to the Mayan cacique of Tabasco after a war between the Mayans and the Aztecs Potonchan. Malinche was part of a loan to chief Tabscoob tribute, to be the winner, because that was the tradition then. It was given as a tribute even as a child, so fluent their native language, nahuatl, and the language of their new masters, Maya. Malinche met again with his mother and half-brother after the conquest of Mexico, when they were converted to Christianity and used the names of Marta (mother) and Lazarus (half-brother). Malinche’s father died, so her mother married the brother of the father of Malinche, and Lazarus was the fruit of this marriage. As such slave was given to Hernan Cortes by Chief Tabscoob. After baptize and to impose the name “Marina" was given in turn to Alonso Hernández, Cortés discovered Malinche spoke Nahuatl and began using it as Nahuatl - Mayan interpreter, dealing Jerónimo de Aguilar Translation maya- Spanish. The man that is sitting I think that it's Hernán Cortés.

    b) Maria Estrada participated with Cortés in the conquest of Mexico. She participated in wars and fought bravely during the battle of Otumba. She was married Pedro Sánchez Farfán, who received the task of Tetela Volcano. In her past in Spain, it is difficult to know where legend ends and reality begins or vice versa. There is a story that could have been real:

    Mary was a Jewish girl who lived in Toledo and at age 8 could read the Castilian, Hebrew and Latin perfectly.
    One day, his grandfather, the doctor Pérez, receives a Gypsy, (she was called Roma), to ask for help for her grandson, Paco, who has a severe visual impairment . The doctor gives her a kind of lenses, which help in something besides decreased and Mary teaches he to read. Roma want to pay, but the doctor doesn’t accept her payment.
    Perez is falsely accused and given his Jewishness is easy prey for the Inquisition, he calls to Rome in exchange of that debt with her, and he asks that she take care of her granddaughter (Mary).
    The girl will never again see his family and learns to temper Gypsies use swords and guns. In Seville, Mary is thrown into an unfortunate circumstance, as a noble lady, not satisfied with his prediction and accused witch nigh. Mary gives her bones in prison and is sentenced to death by hanging. However pregnant and this makes their execution be postponed.
    His adoptive grandmother, Roma, manages to get to her and suggest a possible way out of their miserable situation, as Paco, precisely because it taught him to read Mary read an edict of Ferdinand and Isabella to pardon some offenders to life they are ready to embark for America.
    In America, Mary meets two men who scored his life, Pedro Sánchez Farfán, with whom he was married and Hernán Cortés, with which she participated in the conquest of Mexico.
    Francisco Cervantes de Salazar, quote the words Maria Estrada went to Cortes, when after the famous episode of "The bad night", wanted to stay resting on Tlaxcala : "It’s well, sir captain, that women leave their husbands going to war, where they died and we die is that Indians understand why we are so brave Spanish to fight women know "
    After the conquest of Mexico was widowed, but she was married again with Martin Alonso, dying in 1550 in the city of Puebla. Rich and recognized, fought to the end , and didn’t hesitate to protest against King Charles I himself making them pay too much tax .
    However, returning to contempt and oblivion with which history has treated women, Cortés, with which maintained a great friendship and as stated above the rewarded for their services, not mentioned even once.

    c) Francisco Pizarro was married, first with Quispe Sisa, daughter of the Inca emperor Huayna Capac. The conqueror was baptized she as Inés Huaylas, and had two children with her: Francisca Pizarro Yupanqui and Gonzalo. When Manco Inca revolts in Cuzco in 1536, she was accused of providing information to the Indians and has wanted to flee with chests full of gold and silver.
