Tlatoni (Kings) of Texcoco

The Aztec Empire was an alliance of three city states, Tenochtitlan, Texcoco/Tetzcoco, and Tlacopan. While Tenochtitlan was the most powerful of the three, and its rulers were considered to be the "Emperors" of the Aztec Empire, Texcoco was the second most powerful city in the region.

At some times, there were multiple Tlatoni. Unlike the other cities in the Triple Alliance, the spanish appointed a series of puppet rulers after their conquest in 1521 rather than direct annexation. These rulers are included

To be honest, not being a mesoamerican archaeologist or historian, I probably couldn't get a single one of these rulers. If this does get any traction, I would expect a very low correct rate, given the difficult spelling of Nahautl names in English and the obscurity of the topic.

I will likely cover Tlacopan, the third city state in the Triple Alliance next, but that city state seems to have been founded in the 1400s shortly before joining the Alliance and was immediately deposed by the Spanish in their conquest a century later, so there are only 4 rulers of that state.

One other thing I will note is you can really see the combination of disease and political instability after spanish arrival in 1519. What looks like a lot of internal strife around the time of spanish conquest, with multiple Tlatoni seizing power and then executing the previous ruler in the span of a year, and then european diseases making puppet rulers never rule very long afterwards.
