Although Tezozomoctzin never became ruler himself, he was married to Atotoztli, daughter of Moctezuma I (the fifth ruler), and three of his sons — Axayacatl, Tizoc, and Ahuitzotl — would become the sixth, seventh and eighth rulers, respectively.

Also, his daughter Chalchiuhnenetzin married Moquihuix, ruler of Tlatelolco altepetl.
