Moctezuma II, the ninth ruler of the Aztec Empire, died in 1520 during the Spanish conquest led by Hernán Cortés. His death is shrouded in uncertainty, with accounts suggesting he was either killed by his own people who blamed him for the Spanish invasion or was mortally wounded during a skirmish with the Spanish and their allies. Some sources indicate he may have died from injuries sustained or from the stress and turmoil of the invasion. His death marked a significant turning point in the conquest of the Aztec Empire.
