Talk:Martín Cortés (son of Malinche)

Name of article - Should be Martín Cortés (el Mestizo)

I'd like to rename this article. In the spanish-language (and other wikipedias) there isn't the ambiguity we're having here. This Martín (the older) doesn't have a maternal last name because Doña Marina didn't have a last name, so he's referred to as Martín Cortés, el Mestizo to differentiate from Martín Cortés Zuñiga, his younger half-brother who does have a maternal last name.

Dubious - dates under Don Juan

I've marked "dubious" dates where Martín would be under Don Juan. It says "War of Granada" and specifies 1482-1492, which would be correct for that war. But that was before either Martín or Don Juan were born. More likely this refers to a revolt in Granada which Don Juan suppressed 1569-1570. Can someone who has a copy of the reference please clear this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarlneustaedter (talk • contribs) 02:24, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

In LÓPEZ, D. M. (1954). El primer regreso de hernán cortés a españa. Revista De Indias, 14, 55. The footnote on Martín Cortés indicates that he died while on campaign in Alpujarras between 1 April 1568 and 14 December 1569. The spanish wikipedia entry has a slightly different story (different dates, it seems) as well as different cited sources; but agrees that he would have been on the campaign in the rebellion, not the original "War of Grenada". Given this, I am changing the link to the later rebellion in Grenada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.66.66.58 (talk) 10:42, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Nahua Noble?

Please document why you think Martín Cortés was a Nahua noble. Neither of his parents were part of the Nahua nobility. Some of Cortés daughters were, but not Martín the Mestizo. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 00:27, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

That edit history was attempting to say 'See "growing up in Spain"'. Not sure how I got "Ppain" in there. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 02:14, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you are asking. He was known to not be alive in 1600, but when and where he died is not currently known (see the "Legacy" paragraph), so no obvious church records are known (specifically, which church?). Tarl N. (discuss) 19:24, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
