The children of Pedro de Alvarado and Tlecuiluatzin (doña Luisa)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pedro de Alvarado was a prominent Spanish conquistador, and his children with Tlecuiluatzin (doña Luisa), who was an indigenous noblewoman, were recognized and integrated into the higher ranks of Spanish colonial society. This was partly due to their father's status and the Spanish colonial practice of acknowledging and sometimes elevating the status of children born from relationships between Spanish conquistadors and indigenous women, especially if the indigenous parent was of noble lineage.
