The Princely House of Tenōchca was the Aztec ruling dynasty, which traced itself back to a Toltec family. The secured continuous line of trunks does not begin until the 14th century with Acamapichtli († 1391) 1. huey tlatoani from Tenōchtitlan .

The prince of a territory , usually a city-state , was called tlatoani in the local language in the high valley of Mexico . The Imperial Executive, Hochkönig or Kaiser was the huey tlatoani . He resided in Tenōchtitlan - before the conquest and destruction by the Spanish in 1521 one of the largest cities on earth.

The office of cihuacóatl , deputy of the huey tlatoani , was filled exclusively from the Tenōchca dynasty . It was reserved for the line of Tlacaelel I († 1486), who was the first to hold this office until 1474. There was also the office of quauhtlatoani , which was equivalent to the governor appointed in a conquered city . Of course, members of the dynasty also distinguished themselves as high officers in the army and were able to occupy various ranks of general, such as Huehue Zaca or his sons Tzontemoc , like his father tlacateccatl , and Cacamatzin , who was tlacochcalcatl .

After the subjugation of the Mexica by the Spaniards , the pipiltin was consistently recognized by the Spanish crown, its nobility, albeit undifferentiated. Members of the Princely House of Tenōchca henceforth carried the title Don or Doña . In the colonial period, the Spaniards still used five tlatoani from the old dynasty in Tenochtitlan, but they had only very limited powers. The 14th tlatoani of the Tenōchca , Don Diego de San Francisco († 1554), received a personal coat of arms from Emperor Charles V in 1546 for his military services in the Mixtón War , which takes up the symbols of the Tenochca and anticipates those of the later Mexican national coat of arms . After the death of the 16th tlatoani of Tenōchca Don Luis de Santa María in 1565, the office expired, although the male line continued to exist.

Moctezuma II's grandson , Don Diego Luis de Moctezuma , became the progenitor of the Dukes de Moctezuma de Tultengo . His son Don Pedro Moctezuma Thesifon de la Cueva was made hereditary in Primogenitur by the Spanish King Philip IV in 1627 as the Spanish Conde de Motēuczūma . 1766 got the family of Charles III. the Spanish grandeur, 1st class. Don Antonio Moctezuma y Marcilla de Teruel, Marqués de Tenebrón 23 Conde de Moctezuma († 1890), was awarded in 1865 by the Spanish Queen Isabella II. The title of duke Duque de Moctezuma de Tultengo conferred heritable in primogeniture. Don Juan José Marcilla de Teruel-Moctezuma y Valcárcel (* 1958) has been the 6th Duke of Moctezuma since 2014 and thus the head of the house.

For the sake of clarity, individual relatives are linked out several times in the following list of tribe members. Due to the very different spelling of the names in both Nahuatl and Spanish , the following illustration is not uniform. The Spanish baptismal name is always kept in italics within the stem series .
