The most important political entity in pre-Spanish Mesoamerica
was the Tenochca Empire, founded in 1428 when the three kingdoms of
Tenochtitlan, Tetzcoco, and Tlacopan formed an alliance that
controlled the Basin of Mexico and other extensive areas of
Mesoamerica.
In a unique political structure, each of the three allies headed
a group of kingdoms in the core of the Empire. Each capital
possessed settlements of peasants both in its own domain and in
those of the other two capitals; in conquered areas nearby, the
three capitals had their separate tributaries.
In The Tenochca Empire Pedro Carrasco incorporates years of
research in the archives of Mexico and Spain and compares primary
sources, some not yet published, from all three of the great
kingdoms. Carrasco takes in the total tripartite structure of the
Empire, defining its component entities and determining how they
were organized and how they functioned.
