_56th Event._ Civil wars in Hayti, attempt of some kings to become independent from the _Bohitos_ government. The Cazic _Guamaretus_ despise his god or Zemi _Corochotum_, for which he is overcome in battle and his palace burnt. Dangleria.
This indicates probably a revolution, and attempt to overthrow the ancient religion, perhaps before 1150.
_57th Event._ CAZI-BAQUEL restores peace, and the worship of the great God _Jocavaghama_, with the Zemi _Tarugavael_ found in the woods. Meantime the god JOCAVA prophecies by an oracle that the _Maguacochios_ (great people clothed) would come, with fire and thunder to destroy or enslave the rebellious Haytians. This was understood to apply to the Caribs, and Spaniards afterwards.(80)
_58th Event._ This great king BAQUEL, begins a dynasty, and has many successors _Gamanacoel_, _Guarionel_, _Guayaronel_, _Guavanenechin_, _Guavavo-conel_, _Caramarex_, _Guaramatex &c._, who are the chief kings of Hayti. _Guarionex_ was his successor when the Spaniards came.
The ancestors of Guarionex had been kings or cazics from time immemorial in the great kingdom and valley of Maguana, 180 miles long and 30 broad, running from east to west; having from east to west the provinces Canobocoa, Hubabo, Cayaba, Maricoa, Bainoa. The river Bahuan runs through it, which is probably the same as Bahaboni, where settled the Guaninis. They appear to have been at the head of the feodal system of Cazics and Tainos established in Hayti. All the other kings bearing them allegiance: and their dialect was the court language.
_59th Event._ The island becomes divided into 5 principal kingdoms, with many provinces each having a Cazic. They were 1. _Caizimu_ in the east with 11 provinces, Higuey was the first of them, 2. _Bainoa_ in the centre, the largest of all, belonging to the _Baquel_ dynasty, with 24 provinces, Maguana being the first of them, 3. _Guacarima_, the west end, with 12 provinces, Xaragua being the main, 4. _Hubaba_, a small kingdom with 3 provinces in the south mountains, 5. _Cotoy_ or _Cayabo_ in the mountains of the north, held by the _Mayoriex_ people, with 7 provinces, and the mountains Zibao.
Dangleria gives the names of all these provinces, but he has omitted the kingdom of _Marien_ in the north-west, he makes it only a province of Bainoa. Laet, Charlevoix and Munoz have given maps of old Hayti, with the situations of many, the rivers, towns, islands, mountains, lakes &c.; see my Ancient Geography of the Antilles.
