| Sumario: | In this essay the history of the royal house of Tenochtitlan will be explored, paying particular interest to its development during the colonial period. It will be shown how shortly after the Conquest, people, who were not entitled to it, entered into the government of the altepetl (town). However, as time went by the legitimate lineages united themselves in power and successfully regained its place in the new colonial order. But this was not easy as faced with a policy designed to erode the foundations of the traditional nobility. Therefore, readers will also be witnesses to the slow agony of this royal house in a section dedicated to the difficult government of a number of its lords and the murky matter of incest in which one of these, don Pedro Dionisio, was involved. Another figure, don Antonio Valeriano, also deserves a section as up till now he has been considered an àmo pilli (“not noble”) due to the insistence on this point of a certain chronicler. However, as will be shown, don Antonio was more closely related to the Tenochca nobility than has been thought. |
