Early years as tlatoani Claiming descent from the legendary Chichimec chieftains Xolotl and Nopaltzin, Ixtlixochitl became tlatoani of Texcoco in 1409 after the death of his father, Techotlala .

However, Ixtlilxochitl grew restive in this role and, in preference to Tezozomoc s daughter, married the Mexica princess Matlalcihuatzin, a daughter of Huitzilihuitl , tlatoani of Tenochtitlan . In 1414, Ixtlilxochitl took the title Chichimeca Tecuhtli Lord of the Chichimecs and urged the Aztec Mexica to ally with him against Azcapotzalco.
