Culhuatecuhtli Quanez

The Tlaxcalan chronicles recorded by Diego Muñoz Camargo make Culhuatecuhtli Quanez the founding lord of Tepeticpac, first and oldest of the four señoríos of Tlaxcallan. He led the Teochichimeca migrants who, carrying the cult of their god Camaxtli out of Chicomóztoc, entered the Texcalla valley, defeating and expelling its local lords and settling the heights of Tepeticpac.

Muñoz Camargo relates that he gave his younger brother Teyohualminqui half the province and part of Camaxtli's ashes, from which grew the lordship of Ocotelulco, and granted lands to refugees who then founded Quiahuiztlán.

Both reign lists in the Historia de Tlaxcala begin with him; modern scholars place his floruit in the thirteenth or fourteenth century, dating the founding to 1228 by the native year 9 Técpatl, or to the early 1300s on archaeological grounds.
