In today's episode of "History For Weirdos", we delve deep into the life of "La Malinche", one of the most enigmatic figures of the Spanish conquest of the Americas. Often branded as a traitor in Mesoamerican history, "La Malinche" or Malitzen, was a pivotal bridge between two worlds, navigating her role as Hernán Cortés' translator, confidante, and strategist during the downfall of the Aztec Empire.


We explore the nuances of her decisions, challenging oversimplified narratives and shedding light on a woman whose choices were shaped by forces beyond her control. Join us as we venture beyond traditional portrayals and unearth the complex legacy of this historical figure.
