The Last Of The Aztec Emperors: Montezuma ll Xocoyotsin

Montezuma ll was the last of the Aztec emperors and was defeated by the conquistador, Hernán Cortés in the year 1520. Born in 1466 in Tenochtitlan (modern-day Mexico City), Montezuma was born into Aztec royalty. As was the tradition at the time, Montezuma was educated in the Calmecac (a private school), by the Aztec nobility regarding all things military and religion. He was devoted to the Aztec religion and was thought by many to exceed any expectations regarding his education; it was said he was an excellent student.

Tune in to the 11th episode of History Out Of The Box as Jen and Cam discuss the details of Emperor Montezuma's life, and how the wills of the Spanish empire inevitably led to the downfall and destruction of the last Aztec Emperor.
