Montezuma

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.
