Acolnahuacatl (also Aculnahuacatl, Acolnahuacatzin) was a king of the Tepanec city Azcapotzalco.
[edit] Biography
Acolnahuacatl was likely a son of the king Xiuhtlatonac.
He married princess Cuetlaxochitzin, daughter of the king Xolotl. Their son was famous king Tezozomoc.[1]
According to historian Chimalpain, Acolnahuacatl ruled from 1302 to 1366 and Tezozomoc 1367 to 1426. Some contemporary historians placed Acolnahuacatl's death and Tezozómoc's rise in 1371.[2]
He was a grandfather of Tayatzin, Maxtla, Xiuhcanahualtzin and Ayauhcihuatl.
[edit] Notes
- ^ In the García Granados Codex the Azcapotzalco blood line is outlined (witouth dates) in the following order: Maxtlacozcatl (Matlacohuatl), Chiconquiauitl, Tezcapoctli, Tehuehuactzin, Micacalcatl, Xiuhtlatonac, Acolnahuacatl and Tezozomoc; the Tlatelolco annals provide another list in which the first three and the two last names appear but misses the other three; the advantage of the second list is that these are the proposed dates in the article.
