He took power in 1469; his reign was preceded by Moctezuma I and followed by his brother Tízoc.

For example, the standing image of Axayacatl included in the year 12 Rabbit (Figure 11), is painted in fl formline and highlighted with a yellow/brown wash, while the figure depicted above him is painted with a simple fl formline.
The closest that the ethnohistoric sources come to describing Axayacatl’s costume is in Alvarado-Tezozomoc’s mention that Axayacatl had his yopihuehuetl ("Yopi-drum," Yopi being another name for Xipe, see Nicholson 1971), as well as his headdress of tlauhquechol feathers, and his shield (no specific type is mentioned).
Axayacatl’s interest in the cult of Xipe may have also led him to renovate the Yopico temple precinct, where the main temple of Xipe was located.

This expansion was achieved under the direction of such outstanding rulers as Izcoatl, Moctezuma I, Axayacatl, Tizoc, Ahyuizotl, and Moctezuma II and their highly-disciplined groups of eagle-warriors and jaguar-warriors, together with the prosperous activities of craftsmen and traders.

Hasta la invasión de los españoles, se sucedieron cinco soberanos: Moctezuma I, Axayacatl, Tizoc, Auitzotl y Moctezuma II.
Todos estos monarcas gobernaron con una doble preocupación: extender la hegemonía de la triple alianza a nuevos territorios y reforzar el poder de Tenochtitlán en desmedro de las otras dos ciudades.
De hecho, Moctezuma I extendió sus dominios por la zona occidental del valle de México; Axayacatl conquistó la ciudad de Tlatelolco y las regiones del valle de Toluca y Tizoc, y expandió su poderío sobre Oaxaca, Tehuantepec y parte de Guatemala.

 The Aztec Account of the Spanish Conquest of Mexico
The palace of Axayacatl, who ruled from 1469 to 148 1, stood on the western side of the main temple, and it was here that the Spaniards were lodged when they arrived in the city as Motecuhzoma's guests.
The explanation seems to be that Tlacaelel persuaded the Aztec kings (he was counselor to Motecuhzoma I and his successor Axayacatl after the death of Itzcoatl) that their mission was to extend the dominions of Huitzilopochtli so that there would be a constant supply of captives to be sacrificed.
Fray Diego de Duran wrote that Itzcoatl "took only those actions which were counseled by Tlacaelel," and that he believed it was his mission "to gather together all the nations" in the service of his god.
