Publisher's Synopsis
The Aztec Empire was one of the great civilisations of the medieval world. Yet it is currently one of the least known or discussed empires. For all of the great achievements of their culture, the Aztec's are often only represented as bloodthirsty warriors engaging in human sacrifice. This book attempts to present a true and honest depiction of the rulers of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, who were by extension rulers over the whole of Central Mexico. Each ruler is given some key information and then a description of their reign. Also included for each ruler are pictures taken primarily from the Aztec codices. This work is by Nicky Stuart Verra, an Ancient Historian who has long had a fascination with Mesoamerica and with the Nahuatl culture in general.
