Quaquapitzahuac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quaquapitzahuac (d. 1407) was the first tlatoani (ruler) of the Aztec city of Tlatelolco. He was a son of Tezozomoc, the Tepanec ruler of Azcapotzalco. His name, which means "Slender Horn", was pronounced [kʷaːkʷawpiˈtsaːwak] in Classical Nahuatl[1], and is also spelled Cuacuauhpitzahuac , Cuacuapitzahuac, and Quaquauhpitzahuac.

Upon his death in 1407[citation needed] he was succeeded by his son Tlacateotl.
