Quauhquechollan

Quauhquechollan was a Nahua altepetl in the Atlixco valley, on the site of Huaquechula in Puebla. Nahua settlers refounded it around 1200.

In the early sixteenth century Tlaxcalteca and Mexica forces fought there, and a son of Moctezuma II was killed. The town was granted in encomienda to Jorge de Alvarado in 1524. Its warriors joined his Guatemalan campaign of 1527 to 1529, which Nahua painters recorded on the Lienzo de Quauhquechollan.
