The Aztec Kings

The Construction of Rulership in Mexica History

by Susan D. Gillespie

A structural and historical study of Mexica dynastic history that argues much of it was reshaped after the conquest. Gillespie's analysis of the Quetzalcoatl-Cortés story helped launch the view that it was a post-conquest creation.
