Anita Arnand

And so she's completely driven out of every place that she has known and fought for.

She settles down in Peru, in Baida, a small coastal town in Peru, and tries to rebuild her life, running this small retail business.

She's importing embroidered cloth.

She becomes his godmother to local children.

But...

Could have ended there.

But you can't keep a feisty woman down because she never stops working for the cause.

So, you know, remember Flores, who's just being appalling about her when he's in power in Ecuador.

She foils plots to spread insurgent propaganda against him.

So she's still loyal to the cause and that these projects post-Spain must succeed.

Money is a constant problem for her.

She has this hacienda outside Quito, but she can't trust the caretaker to send her any income.

She's the landed elite without any money.

And at one point, you look in her records and she's forced to call in an Informe de Probeza, a declaration of poverty, which means that she's impoverished and the state has to do something for her or she's going to die.

And then her health is going down the toilet.

She's been badly beaten trying to save Bolivar.

So this hip injury recurs.

She spends her final years in a wheelchair, unable to walk.

And in 1586, Manuela falls desperately ill with diphtheria and she dies at the age of 59.

Her death is bad and sad.
