Hernán Cortés did not abandon La Malinche in the conventional sense; rather, their relationship ended when he returned to Spain and married a Spanish noblewoman, Juana de Zúñiga. Their son, Martín, born to La Malinche, was not killed by Cortés; in fact, Cortés recognized him and later provided for his upbringing. The narrative surrounding their relationship is often complex, reflecting the tumultuous historical context of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. La Malinche remains a controversial figure, seen by some as a traitor and by others as a victim of her circumstances.
