'''Gerónimo de Aguilar''' (1489 – 1531) was a [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Franciscans|Franciscan]] friar involved in [[Hernán Cortés]]' conquest of [[Mexico]].



==Biography==
In 1511, Aguilar was shipwrecked near the [[Yucatán Peninsula]]. Along with [[Gonzalo Guerrero]], he began living with the Chetumal [[Maya]] and learned their language. When Hernán Cortés and his men gained access to the Mayans through the [[Slavery|slave]] [[La Malinche|Malinalli]], they found Aguilar and Guerrero.<ref name="PL">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Rome: Chapter 4 – Giovanni Borgia]]</ref>

Aguilar was able to communicate with Malinalli through the Mayan language. On meeting the Nahuatl-speaking Tlaxcalans and [[Aztecs]], Malinalli translated Nahuatl to Mayan for Aguilar, who would then translate Mayan to Spanish for Cortés and his men.<ref name="PL" />
