1 Pueblo not identified; but in the list of conquests attributed to Itzcoatl, 

 Ixtlilxochitl (2: 151) cites it in such manner as to suggest the location shown 

 on our map. 



Neither the Codice Chimalpopoca nor the Anales de Tlatelolco indicates 

 definitive conquest of this town; both say merely that Mexican warriors and 

 those of "Tepanohuayan" battled and that the latter were defeated. 



J The inclusion of Azcapotzalco in this list of Mexican conquests is difficult 

 to understand, since the Mexicans still were tributary to that Tepanecan 

 center. 



Possibly the source indicates merely that the Mexicans participated in a 

 battle in Azcapotzalco, as allies— perhaps when the city was besieged by 

 Texcoco (Ixtlilxochitl 2: 86-87). In other words, the record may be inter- 

 preted as a battle, not as a conquest. Not until the days of Itzcoatl did the 

 Mexicans free themselves of Azcapotzalco and conquer that city. 



3 "Chalco" has been identified with modern Tlalmanalco, in accord with 

 Torquemada (1: llfi), who notes that the ancient province of "Chalco" was 

 known to the Spaniards as Tlalmanalco, while the old name was re- 

 tained by ". . . un Pueblo, que estaVcras de la Laguna, que por estar en 

 aquel lugar, so llama Chalcoatenco." 



The Anales de Tlatelolco state merely that "se sublevaron los chalca," 

 but conquest is confirmed by the Coleccion de Mendoza and the Historia de 

 los mexicanos por sus pinturas. 



* "Acolhuacan," or Texcoco (Sahagun 1: 79, 2: 285-286) appears among the 

 conquered pueblos, since it was subdued by Azcapotzalco with the assist- 

 ance of the Mexicans (Ixtlilxochitl 2: 99; Torquemada 1: 107-108). The con- 

 quest is confirmed by the Coleccion de Mendoza, the Historia de los mexica- 

 nos por sus pinturas. Torquemada, and Ixtlilxochitl. 



Nevertheless, Ixtlilxochitl (2: 104) places the fall of Texcoco during the reign 

 of the succeeding leader, Chimalpopoca, who received the town from the hands 



of the ruler of Azcapotzalco. Torquemada appears somewhat dubiously to 

 agree; the Historia de los mexicanos por sus pinturas has Texcoco conquered 

 both in the days of Huitzilihuitl and Chimalpopoca. 



• Tulancingo, part of the Texcocan realm, fell into the hands of Azcapo- 

 tzalco. Probably Mexican warriors participated, but Tezozomoc, the ruler of 

 Azcapotzalco, reserved for himself the stretch of land from "the limits of 

 'Chalco' to those of Tulancingo" (Ixtlilxochitl 2: 103-104). 



The Anales de Tlatelolco (p. 54) place the conquest of Tulancingo during 

 the inter-regnum between Huitzilihuitl and Chimalpopoca, although in 

 another passage (p. 16), they list Tulancingo among the conquests of Chimal- 

 popoca, as does the Historia de los mexicanos por sus pinturas. 



6 See footnote 2, map 10. 



' The Anales de Tlatelolco state merely that the inhabitants of Cuautin- 

 chan "perished." This we have interpreted as conquest, despite want o 

 confirmation by other sources. 



8 The Anales do Tlatelolco report war, but not Mexican conquest; in fact, 

 they remark that the Mexicans did not fare well in the encounter with 

 Coyoacan. 



8 According to the Historia de los mexicanos por sus pinturas, Coajomulco 

 was part of the "Chalco" domain and was conquered in the course of war with 

 the latter pueblo (see footnote 3, above). 



10 "Tepepan," part of the Texcocan realm (Historia de los mexicanos por 

 sus pinturas, p. 229), was the first Texcocan pueblo conquered by the Mexicans 

 (see footnote 4, above). This pueblo could be identified with the existing 

 pueblo of the same name in the Federal District. However, in view of the 

 general location in which this war between Texcoco and Azcapotzalco took 

 place, identification with Tepexpam, in the modern State of Mexico, seems 

 more likely.
