Agüeybaná and Agüeybaná II were Taino caciques (chiefs) in what is now called Puerto Rico. Upon Agüeybaná's death in 1510, his brother, Agüeybaná II (The Brave), became the most powerful Cacique in the island. Agüeybaná II had his doubts about the "godly" status of the Spanish conquistadors who had enslaved the natives. He came up with a plan to test these doubts; he and Urayoán (cacique of Añasco) sent some of their tribe members to lure a Spaniard by the name of Diego Salcedo into a river and drown him. They watched over Salcedo's body for several days after his death to make sure that he would not resuscitate. Upon confirmation of the mortality of the Spanish, Agüeybaná II ordered the Taínos to revolt. Salcedo's death was enough to convince him and the rest of the Taíno people that the Spaniards were not gods.
