Genealogía de doña Francisca de Guzmán, Xochimilco, 1610

A rare 17th-century genealogy document traces the lineage of Doña Francisca de Guzmán, a noblewoman from Xochimilco, back to the reigning family of Tenochtitlan in the 14th century. This primary source, published by anthropologist Luis Reyes, offers unprecedented insights into the continuity of indigenous nobility during the transition from the Aztec Empire to Spanish colonial rule. By analyzing the document's historical and linguistic details, Reyes reconstructs a lost segment of pre-Hispanic and early colonial social history, bridging the gap between indigenous governance and post-conquest records.
