Azcasuch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Azcaxochitl, or Azcasuch (Classical Nahuatl: Āzcaxōch [aːsˈkaʃoːtʃ]) was a cihuatlatoani (queen) of the pre-Columbian Acolhua altepetl of Tepetlaoztoc in the Valley of Mexico. Her name is Nahuatl for a kind of a flower (literally "ant-flower").[1][2]
She is believed to have been a daughter of Nezahualcoyotl, ruler of Texoco.[3] Azcasuch married Cocopin, the ruler of Tepetlaoztoc, c. 1431.[4] After her husband's death, she ascended to the throne herself as queen regnant.[4][5] She reigned in 1489–1498.[5]
Azcasuch was succeeded by her grandson, Diego Tlilpotonqui.[6]
