Cuauhtémoc took power in 1520 as successor of Cuitláhuac and was a cousin of the former emperor Moctezuma II, and his young wife, who would later be known as Isabel Moctezuma, was one of Moctezuma's daughters.

* February 28 – Cuauhtémoc, last Aztec ruler ( executed ) ( b. c. 1502 )

He was an uncle of the Emperor Cuauhtémoc and father of Emperors Moctezuma II and Cuitláhuac.

As soon as Cuitláhuac died, Cuauhtémoc was made the next tlatoani.

On August 13, 1521, Cuauhtémoc went to call for reinforcements from the countryside to aid the falling Tenochtitlán, after eighty days of continuous urban warfare against the Spanish.

Cuauhtémoc was captured while fleeing Tenochtitlán by crossing Lake Texcoco in disguise with his wife, family, and friends.

However, he allowed Aldrete, the royal treasurer, to have Cuauhtémoc tortured to make him reveal the whereabouts of hidden treasure.

Cuauhtémoc, insisting that there was no hidden treasure, withstood the ordeal.

" The Torture of Cuauhtémoc ", a 19th century painting by Leandro Izaguirre.

Cuauhtémoc was tortured by having his feet put to a fire, along with Tetlepanquetzal, the tlatoani of Tlacopán, and the Cihuacóatl ( counselor ) Tlacotzin, but even so they refused to divulge information about the treasures the Spanish coveted.

In the end, a shamed Cortés delivered Cuauhtémoc from Aldrete's hands.

In 1525, Cortés took Cuauhtémoc and several other indigenous nobles on his expedition to Honduras, fearing that Cuauhtémoc could have led an insurrection in his absence.

The inscription at the bottom of the statue translates as " In memory of Cuauhtémoc ( spelled Quautemoc ) and his warriors who battled heroically in defense of their country.

According to Cortés himself, on 27 February 1525 it was revealed to him by a citizen of Tenochtitlan named Mexicalcingo that Cuauhtémoc, Coanacoch ( the ruler of Texcoco ) and Tetlepanquetzal ( the ruler of Tlacopan ) were plotting his death.

Cortés interrogated them until each confessed, and then had Cuauhtémoc, Tetlepanquetzal, and another lord named Tlacatlec hanged.

Díaz portrays the executions as unjust and based on no evidence, and admits to having liked Cuauhtémoc personally.

Cuauhtémoc, Coanacoch and Tetlepanquetzal were all hanged, as well as eight others.

Many places in Mexico are named in honour of Cuauhtémoc.

These include Ciudad Cuauhtémoc in Chihuahua and the Cuauhtémoc borough of the Mexican Federal District, as well as Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, in the state of Veracruz.
