Cuauhnahuac, the "conquest" is more likely to have been a political alliance secured by marriage, similar to the one with Cuauht-Inchan. Two other towns in present-day Morelos were conquered by HuitzilihhuitlCuauhximalco (Coajomulco) and Yacapichtlan (Yecapixtla)

However, Chalco neither pledged fealty nor paid tribute and quickly reasserted itself. Thus, this "victory" may have reflected a tactical success but not a strategic one. |
