His mother was the daughter of Huehue Quetzalmacatzin, king of Itztlacozauhcan in Amaquemecan Chalco. [1] Tlilpotoncatzin succeeded his father as cihuacoatl upon his death in the year 8 Reed (1487).

[4] He fathered fourteen children, eleven males and three females. [5] A son by Xiuhtoztzin, Miccacalcatl Tlatletecuintzin, was installed as the ruler of Tequanipan; [6] and one of his daughters, Tzihuacxochitzin II, married Moctezuma II, and gave birth to Leonor Moctezuma and María Moctezuma.
