39. Anales de Cuauhtitlan 1975:57; Anales de Tula 1979:36; Barlow 1949b:123; Chimalpahin 1965:105 [relación 3]; Clark 1938, 1:33; Códice Telleriano-Remensis 196465:290; Códice Vaticano 196465:254; Dibble 1981, 1:24; Durán 1967, 2:293 [chap. 38]; Ixtlilxóchitl 197577, 2:145 [chap. 53]; Mengin 1952:45354; Torquemada 197583, 1:250 [bk. 2, chap. 58]; Sahagún 1954:2). Xiquipilco is too distant from the earlier conquests in the valley of Tolocan to have been a probable conquest then, and it fits conveniently into the pattern of the northern conquests. Consequently, I am placing it here on geopolitical grounds in disregard of its recorded conquest date. Tlahuililpan is also listed as a conquest (Berlin and Barlow 1980:17), but it is unclear which town is meant. One likely candidate is the Tlahuililpan between Tollan and Atocpan, but the context in which the conquest is listed implies a location in the Cuetlachtlan area, and I have accordingly included it there. |

41. Crónica mexicana 1975:412 [chap. 49]. It is not entirely clear when these events took place, and indeed, since no army was involved, they could have occurred at any time. Nevertheless, these events are recorded as having occurred immediately prior to the Michhuacan war and are best placed at this time. But because such ''requests'' were made without using force, it is unlikely that the other towns listed as conquered in that region during the reign of Axayacatl (but otherwise without dates) were incorporated as a result of this event. |

43. Herrejón Peredo (1978:2627) suggests that the area was taken by the Tarascans and that Axayacatl replaced the local ruler with a military ruler after the region was reconquered. |

44. The war with the Tarascans occurred after the conquest of the Matlatzinca territory and the capitulation of Cempohuallan and Quiahuiztlan (Crónica mexicana 1975:421 [chap. 52]). This does not necessarily mean that the conquests to the south and north of the valley of Tolocan were completed at this time. In fact, one source (Barlow 1949b:123) indicates that perhaps the conquest of the entire area was not complete, with the conquest of Tolocan following the Tarascan war, but that source lacks a reliable chronology. Moreover, given the size and strength of the Tarascan Empire, the Aztec pattern of attempted encirclement of significant enemies, and the general strategic wisdom of securing these areas before projecting further afield, it is likely that the Michhuacan war took place at this time (campaign season 147980), following the completion of the Matlatzincas' conquests and those to the south and north as well. |
