Moctezuma II (c. 1466-1520). Ninth tlatoani or ruler of Tenochtitlan. Reign, 1502 to 1520. Death of Moctezuma II. There are several versions of this fact given by several sources. As Bernal del Castillo says, the Spanish forced Moctezuma to appear on the balcony of his palace, appealing to his countrymen to retreat. The people were appalled by their emperor's complicity and pelted him with rocks and darts. He died a short time after that. This version is what is shown in this image. Engraving, 1875. Colored.
