Notes

  • -  Tezozomoc's chronicle has come to be recognized as one of the principal sources for our knowledge of the narrative history of the Aztecs. It begins with their legendary origins but enters into a more truly historical narrative with the reign of Acamapichtli I in the late 14th century. The author then traces the development of the Aztec Empire down to the reign of Montezuma II and the arrival of the Spaniards under Cortés in 1519.
