In 1473, the Mexica emperor Axayacatl faced an existential threat from within his own empire: the neighboring island-city of Tlatelolco, ruled by his own brother-in-law Moquihuix, rose in rebellion. But Axayacatl's response was not just a military crackdown — it was a political masterstroke that redefined Mexica kingship. This episode unpacks the Tepanec War of 1473, a conflict often overshadowed by the Spanish conquest but crucial for understanding how Tenochtitlan consolidated its power. We explore the battle on the causeways, the ritual sacrifice of Moquihuix's heart, and the lasting erasure of Tlatelolco's independent identity. Along the way, we consider the role of the Templo Mayor as a political stage and how Axayacatl's victory was carved into the famous Sun Stone. Drawing on sources like the Codex Mendoza, the Florentine Codex, and Diego Durán's chronicles, we trace the legacy of this war in Mexica statecraft. #Axayacatl #Tlatelolco #Moquihuix #TepanecWar #Tenochtitlan #CodexMendoza #FlorentineCodex #DiegoDuran #TemploMayor #SunStone #Mexica #Aztec #1473 #LakeTexcoco #Causeway #Kingship #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
