Cuacuauhtzin, lord of Tepechpan, was enthroned in 1431. He intended to get married and was granted to welcome the princess he had chosen as a wife in his palace in 1440. She was so young that he decided to wait before consummating marriage. He had placed all his hopes in that marriage. But the young princess, instead of bringing him happiness, was to be the source of his misfortune and his death. Nezahualcoyotl, King of Tezcoco, was his sovereign. One day, as he was walking alone by the lake near Tepechpan, tormented by sadness and melancholy, Cuacuauhtzin saw him and invited him to dinner at his palace. To do honor to his guest, he asked Azcalxochitzin, his young fiancée, to serve the meals. On seeing the princess, Nezahualcoyotl was captivated by her grace and charm, and his depression disappeared. Shortly thereafter, Cuacuauhtzin was commanded to go and fight in a war against the kingdom of Tlaxcala. Two captains had the order to expose him to the most dangerous place so that he would be killed during the battle. Cuacuauhtzin realized what awaited him but, faithful to his sovereign and friend, he carried out his orders although it meant going towards his own death. In addition to being lord of Tepechpan, Cuacuauhtzin was a poet and could therefore bear witness of his distress. Thus we know of this episode, besides various chroniclers' commentaries, through the transcription of the sad songs he composed and sang at the banquet he gave for his relatives and friends.
