The Last Aztec

Cuauhtémoc
c. 1502– 28 February 1525
was the Aztec ruler (tlatoani) of Tenochtitlan from 1520 to 1521 and long-lasting myth of the Mexican nation.. The name means "One That Has Descended Like an Eagle".

Cuauhtémoc took power in 1520 as successor of Cuitláhuac and was a nephew of the emperor Moctezuma II, and his young wife was one of Moctezuma's daughters. He ascended to the throne when he was 18 years of age, as his city was being besieged by the Spanish and devastated by an epidemic of smallpox brought to the New World by Spanish Invaders. Probably after the killings in the main temple, there were few Aztec captains available to take the position.
