Everything about Tlacopan totally explained
Tlacopan (meaning "florid plant on flat ground"), also called
Tacuba, was a
Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican city-state situated on the western shore of
Lake Texcoco.
Founded by
Tlacomatzin, Tlacopan was a
Tepanec kingdom subordinate to nearby
Azcapotzalco. Tlacopan sided with
Tenochtitlan and
Texcoco in their conquest of Azcapotzalco, becoming a member of the
Triple Alliance which formed the nucleus of the
Aztec Empire. The ruler of Tlacopan,
Totoquihuaztli, then took the title
Tepaneca tecuhtli, "Lord of the Tepanecs" (probably taken from the rulers of Azcapotzalco). Tlacopan was to remain a junior partner in the alliance, receiving only a fifth of the tribute gained from joint campaigns with its more powerful allies.
The Triple Alliance ended with the
Spanish conquest of Mexico by
Hernán Cortés and native allies in 1521.
