Tepeticpac

Tepeticpac was one of the four principal lordships of Tlaxcallan, set on high ground in the central Mexican highlands. Its defensible position gave it a military role within the confederation, alongside the centres of Ocotelolco, Tizatlan and Quiahuiztlan. In 1519 its lord Tlahuexolotzin joined the other rulers in deliberations over the Spaniards. Tlaxcalan warriors subsequently became crucial allies in the campaigns against Tenochtitlan.
