Guarocuya Most historians agree (see Sued Badillo) that Enrique was the same person as the cacique Guarocuya which would mean that Enrique belonged to the highest house of the Jaragua cacicazgo. Guarocuya was the nephew of Anacaona, sister to the cacique of Jaragua Bohechío and his eventual successor once Bohechío was killed. Anacaona was married to Caonabo, who was the cacique of the neighboring Maguana kingdom. A minority of historians, however, claim that Guarocuya was captured and hanged, while Enrique succeeded in his revolt. Most historians believe both rebels were the same person, arguing that the tales of Guarocuya's demise are identical to the more verifiable accounts of the capture and execution of his aunt Anacaona and the stories have been conflated. It is also well documented that the character of Enrique was married to Mencía, the mestiza granddaughter of Anacaona. His name, Enrique , would come after his baptism as a Catholic. The name Enriquillo, "little Enrique," was used by the Spanish to belittle Enrique as a person and hero .
