Ilancueitl (Nahuatl for "old-woman skirt"; pronounced [ilaŋˈkʷeː.itɬ]) was the first queen of Tenochtitlan.

Biography

Ilancuéitl was a daughter of the then ruler of Culhuacán, Acolmiztli[citation needed], and she married her nephew Acamapichtli, who thus became 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.

Some sourced claimed that Ilancuéitl actually became ruler of Tenochtitlan herself.
