Tzihuactlayahuallohuatzin was a son of Tezozomoc, famous king of Azcapotzalco. His brothers were Kings Aculnahuacatl Tzaqualcatl, Quaquapitzahuac, Epcoatl and Maxtla [1] and his sister was a Queen Ayauhcihuatl. He was an uncle of Tlacateotl and Chimalpopoca.

Tezozomoc (Azcapotzalco) Ruler of Azcapotzalco

Tezozomoc Yacateteltetl, was a Tepanec leader who ruled the altepetl of Azcapotzalco from the year 1353 or Five Reed (1367) or Eight Rabbit (1370) until his death in the year Twelve Rabbit (1426). Histories written down in the early colonial period portray Tezozomoc as a military and political genius who oversaw an expansion of Tepanec influence, bringing about Azcapotzalco's dominance in the Valley of Mexico and beyond.

Azcapotzalco Municipio in Mexico City, Mexico

Azcapotzalco is one of the 16 municipalities (municipios) into which Mexico's Mexico City is divided. Azcapotzalco is in the northwestern part of Mexico City. The town began in the pre-Hispanic era and was the seat of the Tepanec dominion until the Aztec Triple Alliance overthrew it. After that it was a rural farming area becoming part of the Federal District of Mexico City in the mid-19th century. In the 20th century the area was engulfed by the urban sprawl of Mexico City. Today it is 100% urbanized and is a center of industry.

Aculnahuacatl Tzaqualcatl was the first tlatoani (ruler) of the pre-Columbian Tepanec altepetl of Tlacopan in the Valley of Mexico.

He was installed by his father as the ruler of Tiliuhcan after Tlacacuitlahuatzin's death in the first half of the 15th century.
