Magdalena de Guatavita

Magdalena de Guatavita (16th century) was a Muisca noblewoman, daughter of Sagipa, the last ruler (psihipqua) of Muyquytá, currently known as Bogotá. Her marriage to the Spanish conquistador Hernán Venegas Carrillo represents one of the first unions between the indigenous nobility and the Spanish conquering elite in the New Kingdom of Granada, present-day Colombia.
