"What do we really know about Moctezuma II (also called Montezuma), the Aztec emperor who met Hernan Cortes and saw the start of an incredible clash of civilizations? For centuries scholars have puzzled over the man – what he thought, what drove him, why he made the decisions he did. Let's take a look at the man who ruled in such extraordinary times… Moctezuma II, the 9th emperor of the Aztecs, was known as Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin. Today his name has a lot of spellings, including Montezuma and Motecuhzoma. Modern scholars sometimes call him Moctezuma II to differentiate him from the other emperor of the name, but in his time the number was not used. The name signifies frowning and kingly anger. He was Heuy Tlatoani Moctezuma, the Great Speaker of the city of Tenochtitlán (read more about the titles of Aztec government)…."
