Aztec Nobility. Tlacahuepantzin Yohualicahuacatzin, later baptized as Pedro de Moctezuma, was born from the union between the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II and María Miyahuaxochtzin, daughter of Ixtlilcuecahuacatzin, ruler of Tollan. His son, Ihuitemotzin (also known as Diego Luis de Moctezuma), was taken to Spain by King Felipe II's order and married Francisca de la Cueva y Valenzuela. From this union, the descendants of Ihuitemotzin established roots in Spain. Notably, his grandson Pedro Tesifón de Moctezuma, born in Guadix, became prominent. Ihuitemotzin passed away in Valladolid in 1606. In 1627, Felipe IV solidified the family's legacy by granting Pedro Tesifón the title of Count of Moctezuma. This noble title evolved into the Duchy of Moctezuma de Tultengo, which remains a part of the Spanish nobility today.
