Teozacoalco

Teozacoalco, called Chiyo Cahnu or Great Altar in Mixtec, was a city-state in the Nochixtlan valley of the Mixteca Alta. Its dynasty was recorded in the pictorial Codex Bodley, and its court at times shared a king with Tilantongo.

Under Moctezuma II, who reigned from 1502 to 1520, the Aztecs conquered Teozacoalco and made it a tributary provincial seat. An Aztec garrison received maize, beans, chia and cotton from the city, while the province sent greenstone, feathers and woven mantas as tribute.
