Tzilacatzin
Tzilacatzin was a Tlatelolca warrior. A member of the ''Otomi'' or ''Otontin'' warrior class, he became famous as a hero during the Siege of Tenochtitlan.
Bernardino de Sahagún's Tlatelolca informants describe that during the siege Spanish brigantines led by Pedro de Alvarado landed on the island where Tlatelolco was situated. Initially the warriors did not dare attack them but Tzilacatzin who was strong of arm killed several Spaniards by throwing stones at them. The Spaniards focused their fire on him but he cleverly evaded it and proceeded to disguise as a common soldier in order to not attract attention.〔Lockhart 1993 p. 202〕 At other times he fought without armor or head protection in order to intimidate the Spaniards with his valor.
Later when brigantines landed in the district called Xocotitlan, they were forced to return to the boats and flee by Tzilacatzin and his men.〔Lockhart 1993 p. 211〕 He is also described as one of only three warriors not being fearful when confronted by the Spanish invaders.
