Huehue Huitzilihuitl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Huehue Huitzilihuitl ("Huitzilihuitl the Elder", to distinguish him from Huitzilihuitl who ruled Tenochtitlan) was the tlatoani ("ruler" or "king") of the Mexica while they were settled at Chapultepec in the 13th century.
When the Mexica were attacked and driven from Chapultepec, Huehue Huitzilihuitl was captured and brought to Culhuacan where he was sacrificed. The Mexica would not again be ruled by a tlatoani until after their settlement at Tenochtitlan, where they took Acamapichtli as their leader.
