From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quiahuiztlan was one of the four altepetl (states) that made up the confederation of Tlaxcala.
In the early 16th century, Quiahuiztlan briefly seceded from the confederation, and replaced its Franciscan priests with Dominican ones. Quiahuiztlan subsequently rejoined Tlaxcala, but the possibility of a repeat secession continued to be used as a political threat.[1]
