Nezahualcoyotl

Nezahualcoyotl (meaning "Coyote in fast" or "Coyote who Fasts" in Nahuatl)(1402 ? 1472) was ruler (tlatoani) of the city-state of Texcoco in pre-Columbian Mexico. Unlike other high-profile Mexican figures from the century preceding the Spanish Conquest, Nezahualcoyotl was not a Mexica, his people were the Acolhua, another Nahuan people settled in the eastern part of the Valley of Mexico, settling on the eastern side of Lake Texcoco.
