Overview[]
Aztec Empire[]
The Aztecs were a Native American civilization that occupied central Mexico for roughly one hundred years in the 15th and 16th centuries. The Aztecs ruled a mighty empire and possessed a rich culture, producing some of the most impressive pre-Colombian architecture in North America. Today the Aztecs are best remembered for the bloodiness of their religious practices and rapidity with which they collapsed in the face of external assault.
At the height of its power, the Aztec Empire dominated an area of nearly 200,000 square miles (slightly under a third the size of modern Mexico), with some five to six million subjects. Somewhat like the Mongols, the Aztecs left the subject tribes to their own devices as long as the requisite tribute was paid. The Aztecs were great traders, and Aztec merchants happily did business with allies and enemies alike. Lacking a monetary system, trade was based upon the barter system.
Isabel Montezuma[]
Dona Isabel Moctezuma was a daughter of the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II. She was the consort of the Aztec emperors Atlixcatzin, Cuitlahuac, and Cuauhtemoc and as such the last Aztec empress. After the Spanish conquest, Dona Isabel was recognized as Moctezuma's legitimate heir, and became one of the indigenous Mexicans granted an encomienda. Among the others were her half-sister Marina (or Leonor) Moctezuma, and Juan Sanchez, an Indian governor in Oaxaca. Dona Isabel was married to three Aztec emperors and three Spaniards and widowed five times. She had a daughter out of wedlock, Leonor Cortes Moctezuma, with conquistador Hernan Cortes. Her sons founded a line of Spanish nobility. The title of Duke of Moctezuma de Tultengo still exists.
Dawn of Man[]
May the blessings of God and the sun be upon you, Isabel Montezuma, daughter of the great emperor Montezuma II. You are the last empress of the Aztecs, wedded to the emperors Atlixcatzin, Cuitlahuac, and Cuauhtemoc as Tecuichpotzin. Against the devastating conquest of your people by the Spanish Empire, you managed to ensure the survival of your dynasty, converting to Christianity and coming to preside over one of Mexico City's most important estates. Through yours and the perseverance of your bloodline, the name of the great house of Montezuma lives on to this day.
