History
When Spain colonized Mexico, it offered Aztec nobles status in the new socio-economic system by assigning
encomiendas, labor tributes conveying the aristocrats in Mexico. As a son of Moctezuma II, Pedro Moctezuma inherited noble status among the Aztecs, thus inherited a partial noble status in New Spain with his own encomienda in Tollan.[1]
The
Counts and later Dukes of Moctezuma de Tultengo are descended from Moctezuma II through Pedro Tlacahuepan and his son Diego Luis Moctezuma (Ihuitl Temoc), who went to Spain
.
Diego Luis' son, Pedro's grandson, Pedro Tesifón de Moctezuma y de la Cueva was created "Count of Moctezuma" by Philip IV of Spain in 1628.
