Xochimilco

Xochimilco was a Nahua altepetl on the southern shore of Lake Xochimilco in the Valley of Mexico, known for its chinampa gardens. In 1337 it was ruled by the woman Tlazocihualpilli.

In 1376 Xochimilco repelled Tenochtitlan with help from Azcapotzalco, to which it then paid tribute. Itzcoatl's Mexica conquered the city in 1430 and linked it to Tenochtitlan by a causeway. Ahuitzotl later granted it limited autonomy in return for tribute, while its farmers supplied the island capital.
