Chiconquiauhtzin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chiconquiauhtzin (or Chiconquiauitl) was a tlatoani (king) of Tepanec altepetl (city-state) Azcapotzalco.

He was likely a son of the king Matlacohuatl and queen Cuitlachtepetl.

He ruled from 1222 to 1248 and married princess Xicomoyahual. Their son was possibly his successor, Tezcapoctli.[1]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ In the García Granados Codex the Azcapotzalco blood line is outlined (without dates) in the following order: Maxtlacozcatl (Matlacohuatl), Chiconquiauitl, Tezcapoctli, Tehuehuactzin, Micacalcatl, Xiuhtlatonac, Acolnahuacatl and Tezozomoc; the Tlatelolco annals provide another list in which the first three and the two last names appear but misses the other three; the advantage of the second list is that these are the proposed dates in the article. The three missing names could be accommodated in an alternate sequence, considering data from other sources that placed the rise of Acolnahuacatl 1302, creating a "brief lagoon" from 1283 to 1302, even if no document suggests so.
