Malinxalchitl, meaning "beautiful flower of evil" [1] (died 1524) was the Nahua queen regnant of Tzacoalco during the time of the Conquest of the Aztec Empire. [1]
When Francisco Cortés de San Buenaventura arrived at Tzacoalco in 1524, he could not dominate its inhabitants, which were later persuaded by the Franciscan friars. [1] Since most of Tzacoalco's original inhabitants had fled to Sayula, the overlord Juan de Escárena ordered the foundation of present-day Zacoalco de Torres with Méxica and Otomí families along with twelve Spaniards set to protect Queen Malinxalchitl. [1] However, she was later killed by an arrow that impacted her heart, the presumable "punishment" by the Amerindians for having shown alliance to the Spanish. [1]
