During his reign, the Aztec Empire was consolidated, major expansion was undertaken, and Tenochtitlan started becoming the dominant partner of the Aztec Triple Alliance. Often mistaken for his popular descendant, Moctezuma II, Moctezuma I greatly contributed to the famed Aztec Empire that thrived until Spanish arrival. He ruled over a period of peace from 1440 to 1453. Moctezuma brought social, economical, and political reform to strengthen Aztec rule, and Tenochtitlan benefited from relations with other cities.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"1398","date":"1398"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13702#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Tenochtitlan","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13695"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13702#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"1469","date":"1469"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13702#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Tenochtitlan","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13695"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13702#P20"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13702#P106"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Chichimecacihuatzin I","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5096054"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13702#P26"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"tlatoani (1440–1469)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16104362","start":"1440-05-22","end":"1469"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13702#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moctezuma_I","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13702"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Moctezuma I born?","a":"Moctezuma I was born on 1398 in Tenochtitlan."},{"q":"What positions has Moctezuma I held?","a":"Positions held by Moctezuma I include: tlatoani (1440–1469)."}],"related":[{"name":"Chimalpopoca","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/chimalpopoca"},{"name":"Acamapichtli","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/acamapichtli"},{"name":"Ahuitzotl","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ahuitzotl"},{"name":"Axayacatl","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/axayacatl"},{"name":"Huitzilihuitl","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/huitzilihuitl"},{"name":"Nezahualcoyotl","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/nezahualcoyotl"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/moctezuma-i-d10b1a0984.jpg","width":500,"height":810,"license":"Public domain","credit":null,"page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Huehuemoteuczoma_mendoza.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Moctezuma I","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moctezuma_I","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q13702","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13702","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Huehuemoteuczoma mendoza.jpg (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Huehuemoteuczoma_mendoza.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Moctezuma I, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
