Montezuma
was the ninth emperor of the Aztec empire. Montezuma was crowned emperor at the
height of the Aztec empire. His reign was marked by incessant warfare. When
Hernan Cortes arrived in Mexico, he became an ally of the Aztecs. “Montezuma
believed that the Spanish were descendants of the god Quetzalcoatl, tried to
persuade them to leave by offering rich gifts. Cortes later seized him as a
hostage and attempted to govern through him,” says Wikipedia. Montezuma was later killed, but nobody knows if it was by the Spanish or
Aztec people.
