Nezahualcoyotl
1402 CE–1472 CE · Texcoco
Nezahualcoyotl was the tlatoani of the Acolhua city of Texcoco from 1431 to 1472 and a partner with Tenochtitlan in the Triple Alliance. Renowned as a philosopher and poet, he was credited with an admired code of laws and directed major engineering works, including the great dike that separated the fresh and brackish waters of Lake Texcoco. Under him Texcoco became a celebrated center of art, learning, and poetry, and verses attributed to him survive as some of the finest in the Nahuatl language.
