Acualmetzli

A Stan Klos Company

ACUALMETZLI, the Indian name of a Mexican warrior, born in Coyacan in 1520: died in 1542. His Christian name was Ignacio Alarcón de Roquetilla. When he was a year old his father and mother died, the former in battle against the Spaniards, and the latter from the effects of punishment received because she insulted one of the captains of Cortes. A Spaniard took care of the orphan, had him christened, and gave him an education. But Acualmetzli, when about twenty years of age, learned the cause of his parents' death and joined the Chichimeeas, then in revolt, in order to seek revenge. He fought bravely, and instructed the Indians in civilized warfare, until he fell in battle with the troops sent against them by the viceroy Antonio de Mendoza.
