Atotoztli

[lahunik.62 at skynet.be]

Who was Atotoztli?

According to Wikipedia, she was the daughter of Nauhyotzin, tlahtoani of
Colhuacan from 1377, or 2 Calli. (Lehmann 1938, p.173).

Other sources, like Clavigero, mentioned her as daughter of Achitometl, the
last tlahtoani of Colhuacan, who became that in 1336, or 13 Tecpatl, after
murdering Acamapichtli the Old.

Chimalpahin, on the other hand, pretended that she was the daughter of
Coxcoxtli, tlahtoani of Colhuacan in 1281, or 10 calli (Chim.3, 38f,76r.).

Apparently (cfr.Wikipedia) she was was the wife of Opochtli Iztahuatzin, a
Mexicah chief, the so called father of the first tlahtoani of Tenochtitlan,
Acamapichtli Itzpapolotl, but in the Anales of Tlatelolco she was mentioned
as the wife of Acamapichtli the Old, tlahtoani of Colhuacan. 

I know that the tlahtoani of both cities sometimes had many wifes but that
is a little bit to confusing I think.
