High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Cimarrons or Cimarrones in Panama, were enslaved Africans who had escaped from their Spanish masters and lived together as outlaws. In the 1570s, they allied with Sir Francis Drake of England to defeat the Spanish conquest and plunder their riches. In Sir Francis Drake Revised (1572), Drake describes the Cimarrons as "a black people which about eighty years past fled from the Spaniards their masters, by reason of their cruelty, and are since grown to a nation, under two kings of their own. The one inhabiteth to the west, the other to the east of the way from Nombre de Dios". The term Cimarron means "runaway slave" in Spanish and refers mainly to enslaved African who ran away from their Spanish masters. There existed many groups of slaves throughout Latin America called cimarrones or Maroons, and this specific group may have been named so by Sir Francis Drake and his men.
