Montezuma II, the ninth ruler of the Aztec Empire, was killed in 1520 during the Spanish conquest led by Hernán Cortés. Following a period of tension between the Aztecs and the Spanish, Montezuma was taken hostage by Cortés in hopes of controlling the empire. His death came during a revolt by the Aztec people against the Spanish, where he was reportedly struck by stones thrown by his own subjects, leading to his injuries and eventual demise. His death marked a significant turning point in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire.
