don Pedro Tizaatzin de Moteuczoma was a ruler of Culhuacan after Pitzotzin died; don Pedro was a descendant of Motecuzoma Xocoyotzin; all according to Chimalpahin; later, Chimalpahin says that don Diego Tizaatzin Moteuczoma succeeded Pitzotzin, becoming the 13th ruler (and Pitzotzin was the 12th); regardless of the vagaries, such a genealogy links pre-contact with Spanish colonial times (central Mexico, seventeenth century)
