Juan Velázquez Tlacotzin

Tlacotzin was an Aztec leader in Tenochtitlan, during the final decades of the Aztec Empire. After converting to Christianity as Juan Velázquez Tlacotzin, he was the first post-Spanish conquest indigenous ruler of Tenochtitlan from 1525 to 1526. Although little noted in historiography, he played a privileged role in the first years of the Spanish rule.
