Family and Descendancy Acaimo descended from the first
mencey of Tacoronte, who was called "Rumén" or "Romén" by
Juan Núñez de la Peña. During the division of the island, which occurred after the death of his father,
Tinerfe the Great, in the late fourteenth century, Acaimo took his father's territory. However, the scholar Juan Álvarez Delgado says that Aniaga is the parent of Acaimo, and Acaimo's full name is Acaimo
Daniaga. From Peña, Aniaga married a sister of Acaimo de Güímar, and because of this, she gave another name to her son. On the other hand, Viana also mentioned another son of the
mencey, whose name was
Badenol, who died in the
second Acentejo battle. She referred to Acaimo de Tacoronte as a nephew of the
mencey Beheharo. For Álvarez Delgado, Hañagua, the wife of
mencey Bencomo, she was also a sister of
mencey Tacoronte. It is known, however, some Guanches who were integrated into the new society and taking, as
Christians, the name
Tacoronte, may be related to the mencey. == Other ==
