Tizoc

Tizoc

?1486 CE · Tenochtitlan

Tizoc was the seventh tlatoani of Tenochtitlan, ruling from 1481 to 1486 in a short and militarily weak reign marked by few successful campaigns. He is remembered chiefly for the great carved cylindrical monument known as the Stone of Tizoc, which depicts him triumphing over conquered peoples, and for beginning an enlargement of the Templo Mayor. His early death—by some accounts from poisoning—brought his more warlike brother Ahuitzotl to the throne.
