Xochitecuhtli was a prehispanic lord who was allied with the Mexica and won rewards of lands and water for his people in the Puebla area. His story was told by a seventeenth-century Popoloca cacique and chronicler in 1675.
Xochitecuhtli's life apparently spanned the prehispanic and early colonial periods. Eventually, he had baptismal names in front of his Nahua name: José de San Juan Xochitecutli Aguila Ocelote.
