What does «motín» mean in Spanish?
- Seditious movement of the people or troops. Mutiny is a criminal conspiracy among a group of people (typically members of the armed forces or the crew of any ship, even if they are civilians) to openly oppose, change, or overthrow a legitimate authority to which they are subject. The term is commonly used to refer to a rebellion among members of the armed forces against their superior officers, but may also occasionally refer to any type of rebellion against legitimate authority or governments. During the Age of Discovery, mutiny particularly meant an open rebellion against the captain of a ship. This occurred, for example, during Ferdinand Magellan's voyages around the world, which resulted in the death of one mutineer, the execution of another, and the abandonment of others; in Henry Hudson's Discovery, which resulted in Hudson and others being set adrift on a ship; and the notorious mutiny on the HMS Bounty of 1789.
