		The successor to Ahuitzotl, chosen by the Aztec council, Motecuhzoma assumed the throne at a time when the political, economic, social and religious life of the Aztec was concentrated on the emperor.
		Motecuhzoma was a notable warrior who enlarged the empire and maintained a firm grip on the lands the Aztec held from past reigns.
		Motecuhzoma was succeeded by Prince Cuauhtemoc, who ruled only four months, and then by Prince Cuitlahuac, Motecuhzoma's brother, who took command of the armies and took up arms against the Spanish.

	Part 1
		Motecuhzoma II Xocoyotzin, the ninth ruler of Tenochtitlan, was born in 1467.
		Bernal Díaz del Castillo leaves in his accounts a more personal description of Motecuhzoma: "He was of medium height, well-proportioned, thin, not very dark...his hair was not long...and his face was somewhat long and happy and his eyes showed on one hand love and, when it was necessary, gravity.
		The crest of the bird was shaped like a mirror in which Motecuhzoma saw the heavens and what appeared to be an army riding on deer-like animals.

		Upon his arrival, Motecuhzoma invited Cortés to Tenochtitlan, perhaps in the belief that he was Quetzalcoatl, the ruler-priest and god who had been banished and who, according to legend, would return from the east.
		Motecuhzoma died during the fighting, possibly killed by his own people as they threw stones at the conquistadores.
		Divide the class in half: one half will represent how Motecuhzoma II and his armies saw the invaders; the rest should imagine themselves as the Spanish expedition.

		Motecuhzoma I, as he was later known, charted the course for Aztec expansionism for the remainder of the 15th century and was succeeded by his son Axayacatl in 1468.
		The successor had proven himself a capable military commander as a prince, now he sought to capitalize on the conquests of his illustrious father by entirely surrounding the kingdom of Tlaxcala to the east and expanding imperial control over the Mixtecs and Zapotecs of Oaxaca to the south.
		Ahuitzotl in turn was succeeded by the doomed Motecuhzoma II who suffered the Spanish invasion commanded by Hernan Cortés.

		Motecuhzoma I was succeeded in 1469 by Axayacatl, who although only 19 years old was already a seasoned warrior.
		Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin (Motecuhzoma II, 1502–1520) maintained a firm grip on the Aztec holdings as he increased the empire, particularly in Oaxaca, Puebla, Guerrero, and the old Chichimec domain.

		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.

		Indeed, the emissaries seem more afraid of Motecuhzoma than of the Spanish "gods." When Cortés challenges them to battle to test the mettle of those he intends to conquer, they are mortified at being asked to perform an action outside their royal warrant.
		As the Spaniards march inward, Motecuhzoma's fear is shown as increasing to the point of total paralysis.
		It is possible that the depiction of Motecuhzoma's cowardice and surrender is an exaggeration or invention of later generations seeking a scapegoat for their defeat.

		Chocolate was brought to the New World around 1527 by the Spanish, who borrowed the idea from the Aztecs who called it Xocolatl and drank it mixed with maize flour, chili peppers and other spices.
		It's been said that the emperor Motecuhzoma II would drink chocolate before entering his harem, so it has a long history as an aphrodisiac.
		It became a fashionable drink among the aristocracy in Spain and France; dropping the flour and peppers in favor of sugar and hot water.

		For Europeans, the most striking element of the Aztec culture was the practice of human sacrifice which was practiced througout Mesoamerica prior to the Spanish conquest.
		In what is probably the most widely known episode in the Spanish colonization of the Americas, Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztecs in 1521 thus immortalizing himself and the Aztec Huey Tlatoani, Moctezuma II.
		Although some contemporary Nahuatl speakers identify themselves as Aztecs, the word is normally only used as a historical term referring to the empire of the Mexicas, as distinguished from the Mexicas alone.

		Motecuhzoma II had more than a hundred bathrooms in his vast palace.
		In 1467 the great Motecuhzoma's grandfather, Motecuhzoma I, established an immense botanical garden at Huaxtepec, which his grandson later revived.
		Although the garden at Huaxtepec was the largest in the empire, Motecuhzoma II also maintained a luxuriant garden at his palace in Tenochtitlán, another just outside the capital in the hills of Chapultepec, and yet another at the suburban palace in Ixtapalapa.

		With that in mind, it is, perhaps, not surprising that their first entry in the field is somewhat weak.
		The story is set in the time of the Aztec empire, during the reign of Motecuhzoma II, known more familiarly (though incorrectly) as "Montezuma II".
		It is just before the arrival of the Spanish, and Motecuhzoma sees bad omens everywhere, including his dreams.

		After the fall of Tula, in the 12th century, in the valley of Mexico and surroundings, there were several city states of Nahua-speaking people: Cholula, Huexotzingo, Tlaxcala, Atzcapotzalco, Chalco, Culhuacan, Xochimilco, Tlacopan, etc. No single one of them was powerful enough to dominate other cities, and they were somewhat united by a common Toltec background.

		Nephew of Tlatoani Itzcoatl, and brother of Chimalpopoca and Motecuhzoma Ilhuicamina, his title was "Cihuacoatl" (in honor of the goddess, roughly equivalent to "counselor"), but as reported in the Ramírez Codex, "what Tlacaellel ordered, was as soon done".

		In fact, Book 1 of the Florentine Codex states that Motecuhzoma danced as an impersonator of Xiuhtecutli, Turqoise Lord, the lord of the center of the hearth of the universe, each four years at the temple of Tzonmolco.

		Scholars believe that Stone of the Five Suns came from the ritual precinct of Tenochtitlán (present-day Mexico City), which was once the capital of the Aztec empire.
		The square area at the bottom of the stone corresponds to the year "11 Reed" (1503), in which the stone was carved, and the crocodile figure at the top corresponds to July 15, the coronation day of Motecuhzoma II, the last ruler before the Spanish conquest.

		It is appropriate to use Montezuma as a symbol of the University, and we recommend in doing so that it represent Montezuma II, who was widely known as a warrior and a king.
		In that role, the Task Force learning also included the recognition that Montezuma has been historically referred to and could continue to be referred to by his more traditional names including Xocoyotzin, Motecuhzoma II Xocoyotzin, Motecuhzoma II, Moctezuma, Moctezuma II, Mocteuhzuma Xocoyotzin, Mocteuzuma, Mocteuzuma II, Montezuma, and Montezuma II.
		The Task Force does acknowledge that SDSU has a long tradition with the use of the nickname "Monty" and that as part of the history of the University and in a common American tradition, its use was intended as a term of affection and represents a historic moniker.

		He welcomed and honoured the Spaniards but was taken prisoner and forced to surrender although some sources state that he was a guest of the Spanish so he may possibly have done this willingly due to his religious beliefs.
		Despite this easy victory, fighting broke out during the Toxcatl ceremonies of 1520 after the Spanish had attacked and killed a large group of Aztec lords, and Motecuhzoma was killed.

		Motecuhzoma I forged the "Triple Alliance" between Tenochtitlán, Texcoco and Tlacopan, which made the Aztecs de facto rulers of all of the Valley of Mexico, and then started the expansion outside the Valley - during his reignt the Aztecs' state developed from a power in the Valley to the superpower in central and southern Mexico.
		The Firaxian leaderhead, however, rather represents Motecuhzoma II, who had the bad fortune to face Cortez.
		The Empire was held together by little more than the fear inspired by the Aztec army, which pretty much explains why it collapsed as soon as it was made clear the Spanish were even more fearsome.
