Cacamatzin (tlacochcalcatl)

Cacamatzin was a 15th-century Aztec noble — the eldest son of the cihuacoatl, Tlacaelel^[1] — and warrior who held the title of Tlacochcalcatl. His mother was princess Maquiztzin.^[2]

He had twelve children, only three of whom are known:^[3]

• A female (name unknown), who married Nezahualpilli, the tlatoani of Texcoco. The pair had a son, named Cacamatzin after his grandfather, who succeeded his father as ruler of Texcoco.^[3]
• Tlacaelel II, named after his grandfather, who also became cihuacoatl.^[4]
• Chicuey or Chicome Axochitzin, a warrior whose daughter became the mistress of Juan Rodríguez de Villafuerte, a Spanish conquistador.^[3]

Cacamatzin was killed by the Purépecha after being captured in battle.^[2]
