In this follow-up episode we explore the rulers of Tenochtitlan, or the tlatoque. From the first tlatoani, Acamapichtli, to the final traditional tlatoani, Cuauhtémoc, we'll explore all the "Aztec rulers." In this episode Tenochtitlan's new rulers are aggressive and eager to expand the empire. Itzcoatl, and his ambitious nephew Tlacaelel, brought a new leadership style that would free the Mexica from their Tepanec overlords, and take that same fight out into the Valley of Mexico.

Part 1 - Itzcoatl, the fourth ruler of Tenochtitlan.

Part 2 - Moctezuma Ilhuicamina, the fifth ruler of Tenochtitlan.

Part 3 - Axayacatl, the sixth ruler of Tenochtitlan.
