Itztapalapan
The Aztec /
Nahua
migrants arrived in the region of the Valley of Mexico in the thirteenth century, and took over
cities such as Azcapotzalco from the native inhabitants,
while founding others themselves. Unfortunately, it isn't know into which
category Itztapalapan falls, but by the start of the sixteenth century, it
was definitely an Aztec settlement. |

Quetzalcoatl, god of the air, was predicted to arrive in 1519,
heralding the beginning of the Nine Hells. Coincidentally, the
Spanish seemed to fit the bill entirely

Ixhuetzcatocatzin (Alonso) |
Son. |
1521 |
Tenochtitlan is defeated
by Spain on
13 August,
and is drawn into what will soon become
New Spain. This defeat marks the end of
Aztec civilisation. It is possible that Ixhuetzcatocatzin, Christened as
Alonso by the Spanish, remains as a provincial governor under the new
regime. |
