Biography
editIlancuéitl was a daughter of the then ruler of Culhuacán, Acolmiztli[citation needed], and she married her nephew Acamapichtli, who thus became the first ruler of Tenochtitlan.[4][5][6] She bore no children, so her husband took more wives.[4]
Ilancuéitl charged herself with the education of her stepson Huitzilihuitl.
Some sourced claimed that Ilancuéitl actually became ruler of Tenochtitlan herself.[7]
