Acamapichtli
Acamapichtli is the first sovereign Aztèque (Tlatoani) historically identified. Itself is undoubtedly not Aztec origin but Toltèque. Indeed, according to a legend, the Aztec ones consider it necessary for their political organization to go down from the toltèque people. Also they requested with insistence the toltèque lord of Culhuacan so that it authorizes one of the members of its family to reign on them.
It is Acamapichtli (“That which seizure the stick” or “Handle of reeds” in Nahuatl), which becomes king of Tenochtitlan towards 1375.
Its reign is little known but it maintains the nation Aztec under the yoke of the Tépanèques of Azcapotzalco. It makes many wars for the account of its Masters, against the cities of Xochimilco, Cuauhnahuac and Cuitlahuac. It makes build a new temple in the honor of the god Huitzilopochtli. He dies in 1396.
