Tetzcoco was one of the most important cities of the pre-Hispanic
Aztec Empire. When the Spaniards arrived in 1519, the indigenous
hereditary nobles that governed Tetzcoco faced both opportunities
and challenges, and were forced to adapt from the very moment of
contact. This book examines how the city's nobility navigated this
tumultuous period of conquest and colonialism, and negotiated a
place for themselves under Spanish rule. While Tetzcoco's native
nobles experienced a remarkable degree of continuity with the
pre-contact period, especially in the first few decades after
conquest, various forces and issues, such as changing access to
economic resources, interethnic marriage, and intra-familial
conflict, transformed Tetzcoco's ruling family into colonial
subjects by the century's end.
