Family

[edit]
Moctezuma I was both cousin and husband of Chichimecacihuatzin

Chichimecacihuatzin was a daughter of King Cuauhtototzin, granddaughter of King Tezcacohuatzin, niece of Queen Miahuaxihuitl and cousin-wife of Emperor Moctezuma I. She had at least one child with him, Princess Atotoztli II. It is likely she had another daughter, Chichimecacihuatzin II.

It is possible that her sons were Princes Iquehuacatzin and Mahchimaleh.

Chichimecacihuatzin was a grandmother of Emperors Axayacatl, Tizoc, and Ahuitzotl and great-grandmother of Emperors Moctezuma II and Cuitláhuac. Chichimecacihuatzin was also a grandmother of Queen Chalchiuhnenetzin.
