Yajaw Teʼ Kʼinich I[pronunciation?] was a Mayan king (ajaw) of Caracol in Belize.
Life
[edit]He was probably a son of Kʼahkʼ Ujol Kʼinich I and Lady of Xultun (she was maybe a wife of latter king).
Whereas his predecessors are known only from retrospective texts, this ruler's monuments record a contemporaneous date in AD 487.
His monuments are stelae 13 and 20? and altar 4.
His son was Kʼan I and his grandson was Yajaw Teʼ Kʼinich II.
