Abstract

Chance and Stark (2007) have proposed different strategies followed by the Mesoamerican Indians before and after the Spanish Conquest. In a similar way we want to present a view over the changes and continuities of the Mesoamerican Indian nobility since the arrival of the Spaniards. In this view we deal with the identity of a lot of strategies and the profits that the studies about prehispanic lords earn from the analysis of the colonial behaviour, and also how we can understand the colonial lords knowing better the prehispanic nobles.
