* Moctezuma I ( c. 1398 – 1469 ), fifth Aztec emperor

*** Leonor Cortés Moctezuma ( born c. 1528 ), illegitimate child fathered by Hernan Cortés

Moctezuma I ( c. 1398 – 1469 ), also known as Motecuhzoma Ilhuicamina, Huehuemotecuhzoma or Montezuma I (, ), was the fifth Aztec emperor-king of Tenochtitlan.

Friar Diego Durán ( c. 1537 – 1588 ), who chronicled the history of the Aztecs, wrote of Aztec emperor Moctezuma I's attempt to recover the history of the Mexica by congregating warriors and wise men on an expedition to locate Aztlán.

He was a grandson of the Emperors Moctezuma I and Itzcoatl.

He was a successor of Moctezuma and his brothers were Emperors Tizoc and Ahuitzotl and his sister was the Queen Chalchiuhnenetzin.

Hernán Cortés ordered Moctezuma to ask his people to stop fighting.

Moctezuma told him that they would not listen to him and suggested Cortés free Cuitláhuac so that he could convince them to dispose of their arms and not fight anymore.

Cuitláhuac was ritually married to Moctezuma's eldest daughter, a ten or eleven year old girl who later was called Isabel Moctezuma.

According to Díaz, she spoke to emissaries from Moctezuma in their native tongue Nahuatl and pointed to Cortés as the chief Spaniard to speak for them.

The natives of Tlaxcala, who formed an alliance with Cortés against Moctezuma, called both Marina and Cortés by the same name: Malintzin.

Moctezuma was the son of emperor Huitzilihuitl and queen Miahuaxihuitl.

Moctezuma executed Zaca for singing and beating his drum loudly.

Moctezuma took power in 1440, after the death of his half-uncle Itzcoatl.

As tlatoani, Moctezuma solidified the alliance with two neighboring peoples, Tlacopan ( a small city-state ) and Texcoco.

Among the Aztecs ' greatest achievements, Moctezuma and Nezahualcoyotl of Texcoco organized the construction and completion of a double aqueduct pipe system, supplying the city of Tenochtitlan with fresh water.

Moctezuma also extended the boundaries of the Aztec empire beyond the Valley of México to the Gulf Coast, subjugating the Huastec people and Totonac peoples and thereby gaining access to exotic goods such as cocoa, rubber, cotton, fruits, feathers, and seashells.

About 1458, Moctezuma led an expedition into Mixtec territory against the city-state of Coixtlahuaca, the pretext being the mistreatment of Aztec merchants.

The name refers to Moctezuma II ( 1466 – 1520 ), the Tlatoani ( ruler ) of the Aztec civilization who was defeated by Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador.

He describes Moctezuma's issue and counts that Moctezuma had nineteen children – eleven sons and eight daughters.

* 1519 – Hernán Cortés enters Tenochtitlán and Aztec ruler Moctezuma welcomes him with a great celebration.

* 1440 – 1469: Under Moctezuma I, the Aztecs become the dominant power in Mesoamerica.

* June – Moctezuma II, Aztec ruler of Tenochtitlan, is declared deposed due to his captivity by conquistador Hernán Cortés.
