Yes, Hernando Cortès married twice.

His first wife came from Cuba. Her name was Catalina Juárez Marcaida. She died at Coyoacán in 1522.

Back in Spain, people were getting scared of all the power Cortès was getting in Mexico, and the rumor he had killed his first wife started.

His second wife was doña Juana Ramírez de Arellano de Zúñiga, daughter of don Carlos Ramírez de Arellano, 2nd Count of Aguilar and wife the Countess doña Juana de Zúñiga.
