Ilancueitl (Nahuatl for "old-woman skirt"; pronounced [ilaŋˈkʷeː.itɬ]) was the first queen of Tenochtitlan.
Biography[edit]
Ilancuéitl was a daughter of the then ruler of Culhuacán, Acolmiztli[citation needed], and she married Acamapichtli, the first ruler of Tenochtitlan. She bore no children, so her husband took more wives.
Ilancuéitl charged herself with the education of her stepson Huitzilihuitl.
