the fourth ruler of Tlatelolco (see the Florentine Codex); he was a Chichimeca (see Historia Tolteca-Chichimeca), which may explain why his name is difficult to decipher in Nahuatl; he declared war on Axayacatzin; so did Xilomantzin of Colhuacan; both Moquihuixtli and Xilomantzin were killed by Axayacatzin (central Mexico, seventeenth century)

In this time the reign of Tlatilulco came to an end; for he and his brother-in-law, Axayacatl, ruler of Tenochtitlan, quarreled.
Moquihuixtli, ruler of Tlatelolco, and Xilomantzin, ruler of Culhuacan, were inciting each other to war. Therefore, Axayacatl, ruler of Tenochtitlan, had Xilomantzin killed.
