The Battle of Tlatelolco was an attack in 1473 on the Mexica altepetl (city-state) of Tlatelolco by Tenochtitlan and its allies. It resulted in a Tenochca victory, and the deaths of Moquihuixtli, tlatoani ("ruler" or "king") of Tlatelolco and Xilomantzin, tlatoani of Culhuacan, who had conspired to conquer Tenochtitlan.
