Tezozomoc Yacateteltetl (also Tezozómoc, Tezozomoctli, Tezozomoctzin; born 1320), was a Tepanec leader who ruled the altepetl (ethnic state) of Azcapotzalco from the year 1353 or Five Reed (1367) or Eight Rabbit (1370) until his death in the year Twelve Rabbit (1426). Histories written down in the early colonial period portray Tezozomoc as a military and political genius who oversaw an expansion of Tepanec influence, bringing about Azcapotzalco's dominance in the Valley of Mexico and beyond.
Tezozomoctzin was a son of Itzcoatl, the fourth Aztec ruler ( tlatoani) of Tenochtitlan.
Although Tezozomoctzin never became ruler himself, he was married to Atotoztli, daughter of Moctezuma I (the fifth ruler), and three of his sons — Axayacatl, Tizoc, and Ahuitzotl — would become the sixth, seventh and eighth rulers, respectively.
Also, his daughter Chalchiuhnenetzin married Moquihuix, ruler of Tlatelolco altepetl.
