One Tehuetzquiti was: don Diego Tehuetzquiti, said to have been the fifteenth ruler of Tenochtitlan (central Mexico, sixteenth century)
Another Tehuetzquiti was: don Diego de San Francisco Tehuetzquititzin; husband of doña María, his first cousin, who was the daughter of the lord Huehue Mauhcaxochitzin, fifth son of Tizocicatzin, ruler of Tenochtitlan; don Diego and doña María had children: Ixcuinantzin, Tezcatl Popocatzin, Mauhcaxochitzin, and doña María (all according to Chimalpahin) (central Mexico, seventeenth century)
Chimalpahin elsewhere says that doña María, daughter of Huehue Mauhcaxochitl, and her husband don Diego Tehuetzquiti, had three children: Tezcatl Popocatzin, don Pedro Mauhcaxochitl, and don Pablo Ixcuinantzin. In this passage a daughter is also mentioned (unnamed) and is said to have gone to Xochimilco. So maybe there were four children from this Tehuetzquiti, after all.
