Atlilxcatzin

From "Doña Isabel de Moctezuma: the emperor’s favourite daughter?" author's comments at the end of the work:

"As for Tecuichpochtzin’s first marriage before the Conquest I dug out this evidence from Información de doña Isabel de Moctezuma in which it’s confirmed by the witness named Juan Ecutlatoa, who was one of the first witnesses summoned to present their declaration on January 8 1548 at the very beginning of the legal process. He was about 63 years in that time, therefore born ca.1485 (by the way in the same year that Hernan Cortés himself!) and as a mature man of 34-35 years he might have remembered very well the events just before the Spanish Conquest. The persons who are especially interested in this subject can consult the folios 71v and 72v. of the IIM copy from the section Real Patronato 181 R8 in the General Archive of the Indies. There they will find that Juan Ecuatlatoa actually refers to Atlixcatzin as “the first husband of the said doña Isabel” marido primero de la dicha doña Ysabel). Most of the AGI documentation is already available on-line through the website Pares. The truth is that I didn’t see any other mention of this marriage in contemporaneous colonial sources, but neither I saw any refutation of this fact." -Anastasia Kalyuta
