166 TRANSACTIONS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. [VoL. VI. 
their bows and took part in the defence ; accompanied by four young 
warriors, they launched their arrows, which struck the centre of the 
ranks of Chucuybatzin. It was truly a terrible thing, this great contest 
raised at this time against the kings. But, having made them prisoners, 
the general-in-chief exposed the nakedness of these ladies before the 
ramparts of the Zotzils and the Xahils, whence they had come. All at 
once there appeared upon the main road, near the great intrenchments, a 
division of warriors: alone it scattered all the warriors of Tibaqoy and 
Raxakan ; in routing them it lost only two men, and he who led them 
from the other side of the city, where he prolonged the fight, was still 
the same who had won the first victory, Cinahitoh, the Ahpop Achi of 
Xechipeken. This was the moment of a general attack upon the 
Tukuches ; in an instant they were cut to pieces ; not one resisted ; their 
rout was complete; men, women, and children were at once put to 
death. The prince Cay-Hunahpu was killed in his turn, as well as the 
Ahaus Tziriny-Yu and Toxgom-Noh; all perished, as well as the 
fathers and the children of these princes. Immediately after, those 
of Tibaqoy and Raxakan withdrew, the former to Quiche, the latter to 
the Tzutohils, and mingled among their vassals. Thus they remained 
dispersed ; thus also the destruction of the Tukuches took place! O, 
my children, and it was our elders, Oxlahuh-Tzy and Cablahuh-Tihax 
who accomplished it and completed their dispersion.’ 
“Such, according to the account of the Cachiquel chronicler, was the 
end of the ambitious designs of the Atzih-Winak Cay Hunahpu. But, 
while putting limits to the insurrection which had so boldly threatened 
their capital, the kings of Quauhtemalan had not yet annihilated 
rebellion nor restored peace to their States. The triumph they had 
achieved was not sufficient to compensate for their past humiliation ; it 
did not succeed in regaining the prestige they had lost by their cowardly 
surrender of the Akahales to the Tukuches. While the remnants of the 
rebellious tribe withdrew to Chiawar, cutting to pieces at Yaxontzul the 
Quiches who sought to hinder them retaking possession of this district 
formerly occupied by their fathers, the Cachiquel ahaus, not long since 
tributaries of the Ahpozotzil, prepared to maintain by force of arms that 
independence which the revolt of Cay-Hunahpu had enabled them to 
reassume. QOxlahuh-Tzy, really incapable of undertaking any import- 
ant war, had enough to do to bring back under his standard the chiefs 
whom old obedience to the princes of his family had not yet entirely 
alienated from his person. But, before being able to turn his attention 
outside of his capital, he had to contend with internal difficulties, the 
fatal results of the spirit of insubordination that the revolt had planted in
