Yucucui

The Yucucui were the ruling house of a Mixtec hilltop polity in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca: yucu means hill in Mixtec and Cerro Yucucui lies in the Coixtlahuaca region. Mixtec lordly families intermarried with their Zapotec neighbours, explaining a member of the house holding power at Zaachila, the last Zapotec capital, before its Aztec conquest in 1495.
