Bentor

A native Guanche prince in the Canary Islands during the second half of the 15th century, Bentor was the eldest grandson (in some sources, son) of Bencomo, the penultimate mencey (or king) of Taoro.

Bentor, then the Crown Prince, participated in many battles against the invading Spanish in 1495 alongside his father Bencomo, Mencey of Taoro.

Shortly after the Battle of Aguere, Alonso Fernandez de Lugo sent Fernando Guanarteme to negotiate with Bentor, but he refused to hand over the territory.

It was at Tigaiga [es] that Bentor committed suicide, in February 1495, by jumping off of the hill and tumbling down the mountainside (it was seen as a way to keep one's honor instead of surrendering).

As a consequence, the Guanche resistance completely collapsed and the remaining menceys surrendered in the Peace of Los Realejos.
