Reign

Quaquapitzahuac was appointed by his father, Tezozomoc, in 1376 to serve as the first tlatoani of Tlatelolco, thus beginning that city's royal house. Under his rule, Tlatelolcan armies participated in various conquests on behalf of the city of Azcapotzalco, winning the right to receive tribute from the conquered towns in the east of the valley of Mexico[2].

Family

He was a son of famous Tezozomoc, the Tepanec ruler of Azcapotzalco.

He was a brother of the kings Aculnahuacatl Tzaqualcatl, Tzihuactlayahuallohuatzin, Maxtla, Epcoatl and the queen Ayauhcihuatl.

His wife was called Acxocueitl.

Upon his death in 1417, he was succeeded by his son Tlacateotl. He was also a father of the queens Matlalatzin (wife of Chimalpopoca) and Huacaltzintli (wife of Itzcoatl).

He was a grandfather of the prince Tezozomoc.
