Noble birth

According to several scholarly sources Tlacotzin was the grandson of Tlacalael, a noble and brother to Tlatoani Itzcoatl, therefore a noble. It seems he was noble and would qualify on hereditary grounds as a true Tlatoani - while ceremonially he did not go through the traditional investitures and was appointed by Cortes and not the Triple Alliance partners or noble council.
