GODS OF WAR SEASON ONE E6

Season 1 Episode 6 (A Noble Interpreter)

MAYAN VILLAGE – NIGHT

March 1519 – Tabasco 

Pedro returns to Tabasco with the group of warriors.  Cortés meets Pedro and asks him to join him in his expedition.  They give him new clothing and when he is confronted by a captain who complains he does not want a native kid who will only get in their way, he shows his fencing skills and ridicules the captain.  Cortés does not trust Pedro. 

Unknown – Fourth World 

The fourth world, known as Water Sun, was ruled by Chalchiuhtlicuenote , She of the Jade Skirt, the water goddess and Tlaloc’s second wife. Both Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca were jealous of her, and so they both overthrew her, ending the world in a massive flood. The surviving humans turned into fish. 

After the fourth sun was destroyed, the world was completely covered in water.  

March 1519 – Tabasco 

Tabscoob arrives to where Cortés has settled with his men.  He brings food and offerings.  He also brings twenty women to cook for the Spaniards, and Cortés divided them among his captains.   

Among the women given by the chief to Cortés was Malinalli.  Since Cortés is already married to Catalina Juárez, he presents Malinalli to Alonso Hernández Portocarrero.   She, like the other women given to Cortés by the lord are christened and given Christian names.  Malinalli is baptized as Marina.

 April 1519 – Veracruz 

Cortés embarks again on their journey and reaches the island of San Juan de Ulúa.  That night, Cortés and his troops contact the first Aztec ambassadors sent by Moctezuma, and exchange greetings and gifts.  Since Jerónimo de Aguilar only speaks Mayan, he cannot communicate with the Aztec ambassadors, so Malinalli jumps onto the stage and translates from Mayan to Nahuatl.
