When the Mexican Foreign Ministry was pressing for the return of the crown three years ago, Blanca Barragán Moctezuma, a historian who claims descent from the Aztec emperor, announced that the return of the headdress was imminent and would take place in 2004.
Several researchers have cast doubts on the origin of the headdress, the manner in which it reached Austria, and even whether it was owned by Moctezuma Xocoyotzin (1466-1520), the last Aztec emperor.
The crown, which is said to symbolise the wisdom and power of Moctezuma, remained in France for 50 years and was later auctioned in Vienna, where it lay for decades in poor conditions, some historians say.

Bernal Díaz del Castillo was one of the Spanish conquerors and he met Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin in person.
Nevertheless, these sources are unambiguous about the (presumable) appearance of Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin: he wore a ‘crown’ that was tied round the head and that contained a point upwards at the front, a cloak that was tied on the shoulder and that reached beyond the knees, a loincloth, sandals, and jewels on the arms and legs.
The pointed crown, knotted cloak, loincloth, and sandals appear on the images of Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin in the Codex of Florence and Codex Mendoza.

His successor was Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin (better known as Moctezuma II), who was ´´tlatoani´´ when the Spaniards arrived in 1519.
The upper classes at first were considered as noblemen (to this day, the title of Duke of Moctezuma is held by a Spanish noble family), they learned Spanish, and several learned to write in European characters.
