Cuacuauhtzin

Cuacuauhtzin (c. 1410–1443) was an Aztec poet, composing in the Nahuatl language, and lord of Tepechpan.

Born around the year 1410, Cuacuauhtzin became lord when his father, Tencoyotzin died at a young age.

The spoils from these exploits increased the prosperity of his town and were used to decorate his palace more lavishly.

[1] After giving a large gift to an important Mexica named Temictzin, Cuacuauhtzin married that man's daughter, Azcalxóchitzin, in the year 12-Flint (1440).

After their marriage, Nezahualcoyotl, tlatoani of Texcoco, fell in love with Azcalxóchitzin and sent Cuacuauhtzin to the war against Tlaxcala.
