* June 4 – Nezahualcoyotl, Aztec poet ( b. 1402 )

In this regard the lyrical works of Acolmiztli Nezahualcoyotl ( 1402 – 1472 ), tlatoani of Texcoco, were preserved and passed down to posterity giving the author the title of Poet King.

He was followed by Nopaltzin ( 1232 – 1263 ), Tlotzin ( 1263 – 1298 ), Quinatzin ( 1298 – 1357 ), Techotlalazin ( 1357 – 1409 ), Ixlilxochitl ( 1409 – 1418 ), Nezahualcoyotl ( 1420 – 1472 ), Nezahualpilli ( 1472 – 1516 ), Cacama ( 1517 – 1519 ), Coanchochtzin ( 1520 – 1521 ), and Don Fernando Ixtlilxochitl ( 1521 – 1531 ).

Nezahualcoyotl as shown in the Codex Ixtlilxochitl, folio 106R, painted roughly a century after Nezahualcoyotl's death. Nezahualcoyotl ( 1403 – 1473 ) was a noted poet, philosopher, and patron of the arts.

Nezahualpilli ( Nahuatl for " fasting prince "; 1464 – 1515 ) was ruler ( tlatoani ) of the Mesoamerican city-state of Texcoco, elected by the city's nobility after the death of his father, Nezahualcoyotl, in 1472.

In 1472, Nezahualcoyotl died and his son Nezahualpilli was enthroned as the new huetlatoani of Texcoco.

The Nezahualcoyotl Fountain was inaugurated in 1956.

In the 1420s, ruler Nezahualcoyotl was the first to build a palace in the area.

Unlike other high-profile Mexican figures from the century preceding the Spanish Conquest, Nezahualcoyotl was not an Aztec ; his people were the Acolhua, another Nahuan people settled in the eastern part of the Valley of Mexico, settling on the eastern side of Lake Texcoco.

Acolmiztli Nezahualcoyotl was the son of Ixtlilxochitl I and Matlalcihuatzin, the daughter of Huitzilihuitl.

In 1418, when the young prince was fifteen, the Tepanecs of Azcapotzalco, led by Tezozomoc, conquered Texcoco and Nezahualcoyotl had to flee into exile in Huexotzinco, returning to stay in Tenochtitlan in 1422.

A contingent led by Nezahualcoyotl himself was intended to attack Acolhuacan, just after providing support upon request by any of the first two armies.

Nezahualcoyotl, the wisest ruler that had ever ruled over Anahuac Valley-as he was known at that time-was finally crowned Tlatoani of Texcoco in 1431.

He was the great grandson of Nezahualcoyotl, and was half-Spanish on his father's side.

At Nezahualcoyotl's command, Cuacuauhtzin was ordered into the midst of the most dangerous fighting, so that he would be killed and Nezahualcoyotl could marry Azcalxóchitzin.

Nezahualcoyotl, displaced prince of Texcoco, was living in the mountains.

He was likely a nephew of Nezahualcoyotl.

These allied forces sacked Azcapotzalco and Maxtla was personally sacrificed by Nezahualcoyotl.

Ixtlilxochitl Ome Tochtli ( 1380-1418 ) was the ruler ( tlatoani ) of the Acolhua city-state of Texcoco from 1409 to 1418 and the father of the famous " poet-king " Nezahualcoyotl.

Texcoco was awarded to Tenochtitlan as a tributary, and Nezahualcoyotl fled into exile in Huexotzingo.

In the surrounding area is located also a new urban development now close to the municipal seat, Texcoco, cradle of the prehispanic Acolhuan culture, whose greatest figure was King Nezahualcoyotl.

On May 5, 2006, Aguayo was defeated by Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. and Canek in a three-way match for the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship in Nezahualcoyotl.

In an effort to defeat Maxtla, Chimalpopoca's successor, Itzcoatl, allied with the exiled ruler of Texcoco, Nezahualcoyotl.

After Tezozomoc's son Maxtla became ruler of Azcapotzalco, Nezahualcoyotl returned to Texcoco, but had to go into exile a second time when he learned that Maxtla plotted against his life.

After their marriage, Nezahualcoyotl, tlatoani of Texcoco, fell in love with Azcalxóchitzin and sent Cuacuauhtzin to the war against Tlaxcala.

Ten years later Nezahualcoyotl would avenge his father's death and retake Texcoco with the help of Itzcoatl, the next tlatoani of Tenochtitlan.

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.

One of them, under Nezahualcoyotl again, headed towards Texcoco laying siege over Acolhuacan on its way, while the other attacked and destroyed Azcapotzalco.

At the time the armies met again, Nezahualcoyotl reclaimed Texcoco and decided to conquer Acolhuacan, enteering from the North while the Tenochca and Tlacopan allies coming from Azcapotzalco attacked from the south.

Allying with Nezahualcoyotl of Texcoco, Itzcoatl went on to defeat Maxtla and end the Tepanec domination of central Mexico.

When Maxtla laid siege to Tenochtitlan in 1428, Chimalpopoca's successor and uncle, Itzcoatl, repelled his forces with the aid of an alliance of city states, including Texcoco under Nezahualcoyotl and many former Tepanec allies, notably Tlacopan.

Maxtla similarly turned against the Acolhua, and the king of Texcoco, Nezahualcoyotl fled into exile.

Large extensions of many Mexican cities were established originally as squats ( for example, Nezahualcoyotl, in Mexico City ).

The borough of Iztacalco is located in the east-center of the Federal District of Mexico City bordering Venustiano Carranza, Iztapalapa and Benito Juárez boroughs, as well as the Mexico State municipality of Nezahualcoyotl.

Perro Fantastico a band from the east of Mexico City ( Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl ) created rock music singing in Spanish and English, formed by the brothers Jose Luis and Jaime Francisco González ( guitar and bass ) with Guillermo Avalos ( drums ) and Arturo Fajardo ( rhythm guitar ) and played among the other bands in places like Salon Chicago, Macumba, el Herradero and other places until the band disbanded around 1978.

After the defeat of the Tepanecs, Itzcoatl and Nezahualcoyotl rapidly consolidated power in the Basin of Mexico and began to expand beyond its borders.

Motecuzoma and Nezahualcoyotl continued to expand the empire east towards the Gulf of Mexico and south into Oaxaca.

It has also been suggested that the Spanish conquest of Mesoamerica influenced the history of the botanical garden as gardens in Tenochtitlan established by king Nezahualcoyotl, also gardens in Chalco and elsewhere greatly impressed the Spanish invaders, not only with their appearance but also because the indigenous Aztecs employed many more medicinal plants than did the classical world of Europe.

Archeological studies have unearthed and identified tombs associated with Teotihuacan, a Toltec altar on the summit of Chapultepec Hill, vestiges of a colonial era aqueduct, paths associated with Nezahualcoyotl and an area where Aztec priests ingested peyote as part of religious rites.

Ten years later, in 1428, Ixtlilxochitl's son, Nezahualcoyotl allied with the French to defeat Tezozomoc's son and successor, Maxtla.

Nezahualcoyotl ordered that the gap be filled with tons of rocks and stones, thus creating one of the earliest major aqueducts in the New World.

Meanwhile the tenochca Tlatoani Itzcoatl requested help from the Huexotzincans against the Tepanecs, Nezahualcoyotl visioned the opportunity to join a single military force in order to fight the mighty kingdom of Atzcapotzalco.

After being offered support from insurgents inside Acolhuacan and rebel Tepanecs from Coyohuacan, Nezahualcoyotl joined the war.

Once declared a shared war and a single effort, the coalition army of more than 100, 000 men under the command of Nezahualcoyotl and other important tlatoanis headed towards Azcapotzalco from the city of Calpulalpan.
