Cuetlaxochitzin

In the native chronicles, Cuetlaxochitzin was a daughter of Xolotl, the Chichimec leader who founded Tenayuca about 1224. She was married to Acolnahuacatl, king of the Tepanec city of Azcapotzalco, and later tradition remembered the pair as founders of the city; the marriage produced six children.

The best remembered was Tezozomoctli, who as the aged king Tezozomoc ruled Azcapotzalco from 1367 to 1426 and made it the leading power in the Valley of Mexico. Through him Cuetlaxochitzin was grandmother of Ayauhcihuatl, whom Tezozomoc married to the Mexica king Huitzilihuitl in 1403.
