Xicotencatl I

Xicotencatl I or Xicotencatl the Elder was a long-lived teuctli of Tizatlan, a Nahua altepetl (city-state) within the Confederacy of Tlaxcala, in what is now Mexico. He was instrumental in allying the Tlaxcalteca with the Spanish in order to overthrow the former's long-time foe, the Aztec Empire; afterward, he converted to Christianity under the name of Lorenzo Xicotencatl or Don Lorenzo de Vargas.
