Huehue Zaca
Huehue Zaca or Çaca (), also Zacatzin (''Çacatzin'', ), was a 15th-century Aztec noble, prince and a warrior who served as ''tlacateccatl'' ("captain general"〔Chimalpahin (1997): pp. 50–51〕) under the ruler Moctezuma I, his brother.〔Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 1, pp. 146–147 and vol. 2, pp. 94–95.〕 The name of Zaca is probably derived from Nahuatl ''zacatl'', meaning "grass"; ''-tzin'' is an honorific or reverential suffix. ''Huehue'' is Nahuatl for "the elder", literally "old man".

Zaca was the fourth child of Emperor Huitzilihuitl.〔Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 1, pp. 122–123.〕 His mother was Princess Miyahuaxochtzin, the daughter of Tlacacuitlahuatzin, ruler of Tiliuhcan.〔Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 1, pp. 118–119 and vol. 2, pp. 94–95.〕 He was the younger half-brother of Emperors Chimalpopoca and Moctezuma I. His other brother was prince Tlacaelel.
Moctezuma is said to have had Zaca executed for singing and beating his drum loudly.〔Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 1, pp. 146–149 and vol. 2, pp. 94–95.〕
Zaca had two sons: Tzontemoc, who served as ''tlacateccatl'' under Moctezuma's successors Axayacatl and Tizoc;〔Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 1, pp. 146–147.〕 and Huitzilatzin, who was installed by Axayacatl as the first ruler of Huitzilopochco〔 (now known as Churubusco), a city near Chalco whose inhabitants are said to have been cannibals prior to the imposition of Aztec government.〔〔Isaac (2005): pp. 5–6.〕 A descendant of Zaca through his son Huitzilatzin, Hernando Huehue Cetochtzin, was taken along with many other indigenous nobles (notably Cuauhtemoc) on conquistador Hernán Cortés's expedition to Honduras (Huey Mollan), during which he died.〔Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 1, pp. 148–149.〕
