notes:
|
Cuauhtémoc [or Guatimozin] became emperor in 1520 on the death of Montezuma's [Moctezuma's] successor, Cuitláhuac. Hernán Cortés, with his Indian allies, was then marching on Tenochtitlán or Mexico City. Cuauhtémoc's forces were forced to retreat in 1521; but he defended his capital in a four-month siege, finally losing to the Spanish. Cuauhtémoc was later tortured to reveal the location of hidden Aztec wealth.Volume two contains an account of the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés.
