Moctezuma I, the Fifth Aztec King (Reigned 1440–69) - This illustration shows Moctezuma I (also seen as Montezuma I), holding a spear or scepter and standing on a reed mat and next to a basket-work throne, being offered a crown with gold ornaments by a priest wearing the robe of the sun god. Next to him is his symbol of an arrow which strikes a starry night. Moctezuma wears an epaulette of quetzal feathers and a bone through his nose. Moctezuma I, whose name means "lord who shows anger," was the fifth Aztec king and the nephew of Itzcóatl. The man giving him the crown in this painting is thought to be Nezahualcoyotl, ruler of Texcoco, and an ally of Moctezuma.
