Nezahualcoyotl meaning "Coyote in fast"
(April 28, 1402 – June 4, 1472) was a philosopher, warrior, architect, poet and
ruler (tlatoani) of the city-state of Texcoco in pre-Columbian Mexico. Unlike other high-profile Mexican figures from the
century preceding the Spanish Conquest, Nezahualcoyotl was not an Aztec;
his people were the Acolhua, another Nahuan people settled in the eastern part of
the Valley of Mexico, settling on the eastern side of Lake Texcoco.
