Titre: Tovar Codex, Ezhuahuacatl Sacrifices Himself
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Elg searrojo por no yrco tia su patria. Moctezuma I is shown sitting on his throne pointing at the scene. Below him a soldier in yellow dressed in the feathered headdress of the nobility is being taken prisoner by the soldiers of Chalco. A prisoner dances on a platform while beneath him another prisoner lies with his arm and head severed. At the far left a lord of Chalco sitting on a throne watches the dance with two of his subjects. The hero of this story is Ezhuahuacatl, cousin of Moctezuma, who was offered the chance to become the ruler of the Chalco, but instead he danced on a pole and threw himself off it to his death to save his people from being slaves of the Chalco. In the 14th and early 15th centuries, flower wars were fought between the Chalca and the Aztecs. Chalco was finally conquered by the Aztecs under Moctezuma I in or around 1465, and the kings of Chalco were exiled to Huexotzinco. Illustration taken from a 19th century transcript of Juan de Tovar's Historia de la benida de los yndios apoblar a Mexico (the Co´dice Tovar).
