Azcasuch

Azcasuch

Azcasuch ( _nc. Āzcaxōch|aːs.'ka.ʃoːʧ) was a "cihuatlatoani" (queen) of the pre-Columbian Acolhua "altepetl" of Tepetlaoztoc in the Valley of Mexico. Her name, pronounced IPA| [aːsˈkaʃoːtʃ] , is Nahuatl for a kind of a flower (literally "ant-flower").

A daughter of Nezahualcoyotl, ruler of Texoco, Azcasuch married Cocopin, the ruler of Tepetlaoztoc. After her husband's death, she ascended to the throne herself as queen regnant.

Azcasuch was succeeded by her grandson, Diego Tlilpotonqui.
