Biography

Moquihuix (or Moquihuixtli) (died 1473) was the fourth tlatoani (ruler) of Tlatelolco. He died in 1473 in a military conflict with Tenochtitlan.

Moquihuix was married to Chalchiuhnenetzin, elder sister of the Tenochca ruler Axayacatl, after whom their son Axayaca was named. However, it is said that Moquihuix neglected Chalchiuhnenetzin, preferring the company of other women.

A funerary urn that may belong to Moquihuix was found in 1978 at the site of the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan, near the Coyolxauhqui Stone.
