Chimalxochitl II (b. before 1299),[1] also known as Chimallaxochitzin, Chimallaxoch,[2] Chimalacaxochitl or Chīmalxōchitl in Classical Nahuatl,[3] was Queen consort of the Cuautitlan Kingdom and Princess of the Aztecs.[2] She was the sole survivor of the Aztec royal family during the Chapultepec War[2] and a defender of her religious beliefs as a woman.[2]
In Nahuatl, her name denotes the common sunflower (Helianthus annuus)[3] and translates literally as "Shield-Flower."[1]
