Aguilar's real claim to fame was his shipwreck and capture by the Mayans and subsequent discovery by Cortez near Cozumel.

Description

Gerónimo de Aguilar O.F.M. (1489–1531) was a Franciscan friar born in Écija, Spain. Aguilar was later involved with the 1519 Spanish conquest of Mexico, and with La Malinche he assisted Hernán Cortés in translating indigenous language to Spanish.
