Tezozomoc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tezozomoc was a Tepanec leader who ruled the city-state of Azcapotzalco from 1371 to 1426. Aztec histories, written down in the early colonial period, portray Tezozomoc as a military and political genius who oversaw an expansion of Tepanec influence, bringing about Azcapotzalco's dominance in the Valley of Mexico and beyond.
He was reffered to in Peter G Tsoura's book warlords of the Ancient Americas as the Mexican Machiavelli
On his death in 1426, he was succeeded by his son Maxtla.
