Tlacopan
Tlacopan , named today Tacuba (hispanized form of the name Nahuatl), which was founded by Tlacomatzin, was a city-State of the Mexico founded during the prehispanic period on western bank of the Lac Texcoco. Tlacopan formed a small tépanèque kingdom vassal of the city close to Azcapotzalco but it was side of Tenochtitlan and Texcoco in their conquest of this powerful city. The leader of Tlacopan, Totoquihuaztli, took then the title of “Tepaneca tecuhtli” which means lord of Tépanèques in nahuatl.
It thus became the ally of the people Aztèque while being member with the towns of Texcoco and Tenochtitlan of the Aztec Triple alliance. It took part politically and militarily in the conquests which built the Aztec empire. It was the third city in importance of the Aztec State: it received only one fifth of the tributes which the three towns of their conquests received.
This alliance, which largely dominated the Mésoamérique in XVIe century, ended in 1521 at the time of the conquest of Mexico by Spanish carried out by the Amerindian Cortes and their allies to the number of a million.
