Book Synopsis
The enigmatic and powerful Tlacaelel (1398-1487), wrote annalist Chimalpahin, was “the beginning and origin” of the Mexica monarchy in fifteenth-century Mesoamerica. This outsize figure of Aztec history has long been shrouded in mystery. In this first biography of the nobleman, Susan Schroeder searches out the truth about his life and legacy.

Trade Review
Susan Schroeder's exhilarating, highly engaging book provides an authoritative account of the mighty Mexica nobleman Tlacaelel, proving not only that such a figure did exist, but that his fingerprints on military alliances, political strategies, and even novel forms of human sacrifice can be found everywhere in the momentous rise of the Mexica capital in the fifteenth century. A scholarly tour de force."" - David Tavárez, author of The Invisible War: Indigenous Devotions, Discipline, and Dissent in Colonial Mexico
