Totoquihuaztli.

Headword: 
Totoquihuaztli.
Principal English Translation: 

the elder Totoquihuaztli was a lord of Tlacopan and of the Tepanecs, and he died in 1470; the younger Totoquihuaztli held the same position, and he died ca. 1519; in the Cantares Mexicanos their names appears in association with Moctezuma and Nezahualcoyotl or Moctezuma and Nezahualpilli

the elder Totoquihuaztli was the son of Tezozomoc of Azcapotzalco and therefore "a legitimate pretender to the throne of the Tepanec empire"

the second Totoquihuaztli may have been the father of don Antonio Cortés Totoquihuaztli, who was municipal governor of Tlacopan in the sixteenth century (see our entry Cortés Totoquihuaztli)
