Abstract
This essay focuses on ethnohistorical and anthropological analysis of the Información de don Juan de Guzmán Itztlolinqui, a set of related documents from the Archivo General de Indias. This record was composed in Mexico in June 8-15, 1536, as probanza de meritos (proof of merits) of don Juan de Guzmán Itztlolinqui, the colonial cacique of Coyoacán in the Basin of Mexico, his elder brother and predecessor don Hernando, and their father, Cuauhpopoca, the pre-Hispanic ruler of the town. Although made in full accordance with Castilian legal procedure of that time, the Información de don Juan de Guzmán Itztlolinqui is completely based on the earliest indigenous testimonies about the first stage of Conquest ever known.Downloads
