an attitude of surrender. This happens on the days 3 Herb and 4 

 Eeed of the year 13 Rabbit (see pi. 3, bottom section). 



No time is lost in cutting out the heart of Two Crocodile in the 

 temple of Six Monkey's capital. Then the other culprit is turned 

 over to the two ambassadors and their honor is appeased when he, 

 in turn, is sacrificed before their own temple. In the next to the 

 top line of our text Lady Six Monkey is annointed queen by Two 

 Flower and in the same year 13 Rabbit she rules in peace with her 

 chosen mate, Eleven Wind. Her first son, Four Wind, is born in 

 the year 2 Knife, some 2 years later, and we see him tied to the 

 date by the red umbilicus. The second son, One Crocodile, is born 

 in the very year 5 Reed which had been set for the death of his 

 mother. She appears no more in this narrative and the last entry 

 shows the marriage of Four Wind and Ten Flower. (See fig. 4, 

 above, for a parallel record of this event.)

OTHER REFERENCES TO LADY SIX MONKEY 



The other codices add something to our knowledge of this Ama- 

 zon queen. In the Bodley there is a shorter account of her rise to 

 power, including her appeal to the gruesome old lady of Skull 

 Temple, her leading in another prisoner, her marriage with Eleven 

 Wind and the births of her two children. Both these sons marry 

 daughters of Eight Deer and play a considerable role in the history 

 of southern Mexico. Her husband either remarries or, perhaps, he 

 already had another wife when he took Six Monkey. His daughter 

 by the other wife was the official mate of Eight Deer, a situation 

 leading to involved relationships. That is. Six Monkey's two boys 

 both married daughters of their half sister. 



There is only one reference to Six Monkey in the Zouche codex, 

 and that is on page 4, where she resolutely turns her back on the 

 young conqueror Eight Deer, whose face wears an expression of 

 disma3^ This was in the year 6 Reed when Eight Deer was 20 

 years of age and Six Monkey a mere child. Some idea of her 

 popularity may be gathered from a repetition of this refusal motive
