En lo personal, Cortés no terminó su vida como una figura plenamente estable dentro del poder imperial.
El rey Carlos I de España fue limitando su autoridad progresivamente, retirándole el gobierno directo de los territorios conquistados.
Cortés pasó sus últimos años entre gestiones legales, reclamaciones y viajes a la península.Murió en 1547 en Castilleja de la Cuesta, en Sevilla, lejos del territorio que había contribuido a incorporar a la Corona.
Su fallecimiento fue discreto en comparación con la magnitud histórica de su papel.
Sus restos fueron trasladados en varias ocasiones a lo largo del tiempo, en función de circunstancias políticas posteriores.Su descendencia refleja también la complejidad de aquella época.
Con La Malinche tuvo a Martín Cortés (el Mestizo), considerado uno de los primeros mestizos de origen noble en el contexto colonial.
Su vida transcurrió entre España y América, con formación en la corte y participación en conflictos militares y políticos.
Finalmente, acabó implicado en una conspiración en Nueva España que lo llevó a ser procesado, torturado y desterrado, aunque sobrevivió y continuó su vida en España.Por su parte, La Malinche, tras la etapa de la conquista, se apartó del foco político.
Contrajo matrimonio con el capitán Juan Jaramillo, vivió en Ciudad de México y murió hacia 1529, probablemente durante una epidemia.
Su figura ha sido interpretada de formas muy distintas a lo largo del tiempo, desde símbolo de traición hasta pieza clave en la formación de una nueva identidad cultural.En conjunto, la historia de Cortés no es la de un único individuo que actúa en solitario, sino la interacción de múltiples factores: decisiones personales, contextos políticos, alianzas locales, estructuras sociales preexistentes y acontecimientos imprevisibles que, sumados, dieron forma a un cambio histórico profundo.

One of the world’s biggest cities may be just months away from running out of water
by Laura Paddison, Jack Guy and Fidel Gutiérrez, CNN
February 25, 2024
"Alejandro Gomez has been without proper running water for more than three months. Sometimes it comes on for an hour or two, but only a small trickle, barely enough to fill a couple of buckets. Then nothing for many days.
"Gomez, who lives in #MexicoCity’s #Tlalpan district, doesn’t have a big storage tank so can’t get water truck deliveries — there’s simply nowhere to store it. Instead, he and his family eke out what they can buy and store.
"When they wash themselves, they capture the runoff to flush the toilet. It’s hard, he told CNN. 'We need water, it’s essential for everything.'
"#WaterShortages are not uncommon in this neighborhood, but this time feels different, Gomez said. 'Right now, we are getting this hot weather. It’s even worse, things are more complicated.'
"Mexico City, a sprawling metropolis of nearly 22 million people and one of the world’s biggest cities, is facing a severe #WaterCrisis as a tangle of problems — including geography, chaotic urban #development and leaky #infrastructure — are compounded by the impacts of #ClimateChange.
"Years of abnormally low rainfall, longer dry periods and high temperatures have added stress to a water system already straining to cope with increased demand. Authorities have been forced to introduce significant restrictions on the water pumped from reservoirs.
"'Several neighborhoods have suffered from a lack of water for weeks, and there are still four months left for the rains to start,' said Christian Domínguez Sarmiento, an atmospheric scientist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
"Politicians are downplaying any sense of crisis, but some experts say the situation has now reached such critical levels that Mexico City could be barreling towards 'day zero' in a matter of months — where the taps run dry for huge swaths of the city.
Historic lows
"Densely populated Mexico City stretches out across a high-altitude lake bed, around 7,300 feet above sea level. It was built on clay-rich soil — into which it is now sinking — and is prone to #earthquakes and highly vulnerable to climate change. It’s perhaps one of the last places anyone would choose to build a #megacity today.
"The #Aztecs chose this spot to build their city of #Tenochtitlan in 1325, when it was a series of lakes. They built on an island, expanding the city outwards, constructing networks of canals and bridges to work with the water.
"But when the Spanish arrived in the early 16th century, they tore down much of the city, drained the lakebed, filled in #canals and ripped out #forests. They saw 'water as an enemy to overcome for the city to thrive,' said Jose Alfredo Ramirez, an architect and co-director of Groundlab, a design and policy research organization."
