Techichpotzin
From Free net encyclopedia
Techichpotzin, or Tecuichpotzin (c. 1510 - December 9, 1550 ) was the daughter of the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II.
Once the Spanish Conquistadores had invaded what is now Mexico, the Aztec princess was baptized a Christian with the name Isabel Moctezuma.
Isabel was the sole heiress to her father's wealth, fortune, and was to be given a sizable encomienda. For these reasons, Isabel attracted many men looking for marriage. She married a total of five times, three of the men being of Spanish descent. From her three Spanish husbands, she bore seven mestizo children. Isabel Moctezuma became a devout Roman Catholic and ended her life peacefully.
